"That's when I screamed to alert my neighbours, unfortunately, Ontita chased me with the intention to kill me, I ran for the safety of my life," she said.

The mother added that the neighbours came and alerted the police officers. According to her, the other three children were lucky to have survived as they were at the stream fetching water when the incident occurred.

The deceased children are below ten years. Ombati Nyakundi, an eye witness corroborated neighbours' sentiments that Ontita was mentally challenged.

"It is now three years since he started to be mentally challenged, he was taken to Mombasa to seek further medical attention," Nyakundi said, adding that he had not changed since then.

Confirming the incident, OCPD Kipkemboi Kipkulei Nyamache said that they have arrested Ontita and taken him into police custody as they conduct investigations into the incident. He will be arraigned in court to face the law once they have completed the investigations.

Meanwhile, the bodies have been moved to Gucha mortuary awaiting autopsy following the incident which adds to the rising number of bizarre cases reported in Kisii county.

The case of three-year-old Junior Sagini, a boy whose eyes were gouged out by unidentified assailants in Kisii County drew nationwide uproar and the attention of President William Ruto.

Commenting on the Baby Sagini case, Ruto was surprised to learn of the atrocious incident while questioning the ill motives of those responsible for harming a child who has done nothing wrong.

"Please let's be mindful of our children. I'm surprised to hear that there are some parents who are putting their children's lives in danger. 

"We have seen that there is one parent in Kisii who has gouged out the eyes of a child, something that is very shocking. I don't know which type of devil is possessing a human being to the point that he is harming a child that does not have a sense of guilt, a child who neither has an error nor is doing any wrong to anyone in life," he addressed.
