A village in Limuru is mourning after a grader crushed to death a Grade One pupil and injured another while making the Kamandura Mau summit stretch at Kwambira.
According to John Njuguna, the family spokesman, Alex Nganga and his twin brother Anthony Muiruri, pupils at Limuru Model School, were walking home when a grader belonging to China CRBC lost control and crushed one of the twins to death and injured the other.
“Our twins were walking from school and since the construction of the Kamandura started, we have been having difficulties crossing the road, so yesterday a grader killed Nganga and injured Anthony. We were called to the scene and found him lying lifeless while his brother writhed in pain. We took the injured kid to a Limuru facility before moving him to Kikuyu Hospital for more treatment. Meanwhile, the dead boy was taken to Tigoni Hospital mortuary,” Njuguna said.
