Four die from illicit brew in Nandi County

Four people have died and five others hospitalised after consuming suspected illicit brew in Nandi County.

Those admitted are fighting for their lives at Kapsabet hospital suffering serious side-effects.

One has been rendered blind while another is in a coma. The deaths come in the wake of President Uhuru Kenyatta's order on crackdown on illicit brew across the country. 

Nandi county Commissioner Matilda Sakwa said police have arrested a suspect caught selling the killer brew to wines and spirits operators in Kapsabet town.
