A family is mourning after their four-year-old daughter died after falling from the fourth floor of a house in Embakasi, Nairobi.

The girl was playing with her friends when she slid and fell to the ground floor.

She landed headfirst and died minutes later, police said of the Monday night tragedy.

She was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival, officials said.

Police officers visited the scene and established the girl had slid through grills at the staircase and fell off.

Meanwhile, police and Kenya Power officials are investigating two separate incidents of electrocution in Machakos and Kwale.

The first incident happened in Athi River where one Davis Lumumba, 28, was electrocuted at a construction site.

The victim was at a construction site when the incident happened on Saturday.

A manager had told the deceased who was an electrician to disconnect a spotlight and connect a drill when he was electrocuted.

This was after he touched a live naked wire.

He was rushed to Shalom Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

In Msambweni, Kwale, one man aged 20 was discovered to have been electrocuted as he allegedly attempted to vandalize a copper cable on a high-voltage power line.

The incident happened along zero-zero base Titanium road at Bumamani village.

Police said a hacksaw was recovered from the scene and kept as an exhibit.

The bodies were moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.
