During their burial in Segerot village, relatives appealed to the Bomet County government, local leaders and well wishers to help provide for the children’s education and basic needs, citing financial difficulties.

Bomet Governor Hillary Barchok urged couples experiencing relationship problems to seek professional counselling and support from trusted relatives and friends before disagreements escalate.

As investigations continue, the family is left seeking answers about the tragedy while working to secure a better future for the three children.
