Two children were burnt to death in their house at Nasewa village in Nambale yesterday. Fajious Wandera, 8, and Rosena Wandera, 6, were alone when their house caught fire. Chief Hillary Agoya said the children’s mother had told one of them to return a matchbox to the house while she went to a nearby well to fetch water. It is believed that the children were trying to light a candle when the grass-thatched house caught fire and trapped the children inside. Neighbours found the children's bodies under the bed where they had sought refuge.
