A one year old child died on Monday in a house fire.
Two other children who were sleeping in the house in Mukuru Kaiyaba slum, South B were rescued by residents.
Police identified the child who died as Shantel Nyaboye.
According to Patrick Macharia, a witness, the morning fire started when children were alone as their parents had gone to work and the relative who was taking care of them had gone out.
He said the fire was caused by a charcoal burner in the house.
The incident comes after on Saturday morning 30 residential houses were razed down by fire in Kibera slum's Laini Saba area.
Property worth thousands of shillings was destroyed in the inferno.
