Nine family members have died following a suspected arson attack in Siaya County.
Reports indicate that the man, his wife and seven children were asleep when their house was set on fire by unknown individuals.
The tragic incident left four of the victims burned beyond recognition.
The bodies of the deceased were taken to Siaya County Referral Hospital mortuary for preservation awaiting postmortem.
The horrifying incident has left the neighbours raising questions by linking it to an ongoing land dispute involving the family and a neighbour.
This made the area residents storm the home of the suspect and set on fire the main and farm houses.
The caretaker of the home, on the other hand, told Citizen Digital that he discovered the fire around midnight after he woke up to the smell of petrol.
According to the authorities, a suspect has already been taken away by police as investigations of the incident continue into the two incidents.
