Four brothers aged between nine and 14 have died after drowning in an open quarry in the Kanyakwar area of Kisumu Central sub-county on Sunday.
According to Kondele Chief Maurice Ajwang, the incident occurred while the children were swimming in the water-filled quarry.
One of the boys reportedly moved into a deeper section of the quarry and began to drown.
His three brothers attempted to rescue him but were also overwhelmed by the water.
Residents raised the alarm, prompting a response from local authorities.
All four bodies were later retrieved from the quarry.
