Police have launched investigations after two PP2 pupils were found dead in Suneka, Kisii County, in a case that has left families and the local community in shock.
According to reports, the girls' bodies were discovered inside sacks dumped in a banana plantation near their homes. The two had reportedly gone missing before their bodies were found.
Editorial note: Given the sensitivity of this case and the ages of the victims, Don Sami Live will not detail speculative accounts of the circumstances of their deaths beyond what has been officially confirmed by police.
Officers visited the scene and began investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths and identify those responsible. The bodies have since been moved for further examination as authorities work to gather evidence.
No arrests had been publicly confirmed by the time of publication, and police are yet to release an official statement detailing the full circumstances of the case.
The Suneka community remains in mourning, with residents calling for justice for the two young learners whose lives were cut short. Child protection advocates have renewed calls for urgent action to hold perpetrators of violence against children accountable and to strengthen protective measures for minors in the area.
The incident adds to ongoing concerns in Kenya over the safety of young children, particularly in communities where they may be exposed to risk while walking to school, playing outdoors, or going about daily routines. Child welfare groups continue to urge parents, schools, communities, and law enforcement to work together to build safer environments for children.
This is a developing story. Don Sami Live will update this post as police release further details or make arrests.
