A baby was burnt to death after their house was razed down by fire at Sironi area, Laikipia.
Tabitha Wambui, a neighbor, said the baby was left alone in the house when the fire broke on Wednesday evening.
Neighbors rushed to the house and attempted to rescue the child but it was too late since the fire flames spread too fast.
"We tried to rescue the child in vain. Fire flames spread too fast destroying property in the house," said a neighbor.
Area OCPD Ezekiel Chepkwony said investigations have been launched to establish the cause of fire.
"The cause of fire remains unknown but we are investigating the matter," Chepkwony said.
