A three–year–old boy tragically lost his life on Thursday evening after drowning in an open borehole as he was playing at Bodi market in Nyakach sub-county.
The minor was in the company of other kids as they played when he accidentally fell inside the borehole.
Upper Nyakach Assistant County Commissioner Dawin Orina who confirmed the incident says the boy was in the company of his mum who is a trader at the market.
Orina says locals noticed his body floating and it was later retrieved and taken to Nyabondo mission hospital mortuary.
He cautioned locals from leaving such water bodies unsealed especially during the ongoing heavy rains.
