She wrote;

"A sad ending. Rip to the five angels," she wrote.

Simon Ndungu, 28, father to Nakuru quintuplets had said the initial ultrasound conducted on his wife showed only three babies.

Speaking to the media, Ndungu said when he received the news, he was happy and thanked God for the blessings.

"Nadhani hao wawili walijificha kwa tumbo. Kwa hao watano, kuna wasichana wanne na mvulana mmoja," he said.

This is loosely translated to: I think the other two babies hid themselves during the ultrasound. Out of the five children, my wife has given birth to four girls and one boy.

He had appealed to well-wishers to help him with resources to raise the children.
