Mother to the deceased Dorcas Atieno said she was informed of the incident when she arrived home by her mother-in-law and called for help to rescue her daughter.
“when I arrived I called for help but it was too late as she was retrieved from the borehole already dead,” said Dorcas.
At the time of her arrival at the scene her daughter has already sunk deep inside the hole that had been dug by the school to help in collection of water to be used villagers and the school especially during the drought seasons
The family has urged the school together with others villagers to seal the boreholes before they cause more deaths in the future.
