An 11-year-old girl has lost her life in the hands of her parents for allegedly stealing Ksh.200.
The disturbing incident occurred at their home in Masita village within Bondo in Siaya County.
Gabriela Atieno, the young girl in question, is said to have stolen Ksh.200 belonging to her father, Cornel Ogeno.
This led to her parents caning her on Sunday evening in order to force a confession out of her.
Siaya County Police Commander Mr. Cleti Kimaiyo reported that the parents repeatedly caned the girl until she lost consciousness.
The parents then took her to the nearby Bondo Sub-county Hospital, where she was declared dead upon arrival.
According to Mr.Kimaiyo, a nurse reported that the child was brought with multiple bruises on her body when she was brought to the hospital.
Police officers who visited the hospital also reported the same.
The body has been transfered to Bondo sub-county hospital mortury awaiting autopsy.
