Two girls aged between six and nine years have been murdered in cold blood at Kenyenya area Kisii County.

Sources say, the killer might have defiled the minors before killing them in the Wednesday incident.

Kisii County Police Coordinator Martin Kibet has confirmed the incident saying the minors could have known the killer.

"It is unfortunate that somebody can opt to do such a thing. Nothing justifies the killing of innocent souls. We will do all we can to apprehend the killer," says Kibet.

One of the area residents; Athonly Machoka has told the Standard that the mother to the two girls identified as Gladys had gone to the market leaving behind the two girls.
