This comes two days after a one-year-old child was crushed to death at a parking lot in Dandora area, Nairobi.
Police said the driver of a lorry was reversing the motor vehicle from the parking lot.

Neighbours who witnessed the tragic incident screamed for the attention of the driver in vain. The incident happened as the driver left for work at about 8 am, police said.
