By TITUS OTEBAMore by this AuthorAn eight-year-old child died on Sunday in Bumula, Bungoma County, when his mother left him in a locked car. The woman and her lover are said to have gone to a hotel room near Mateka market and left the child in the vehicle without the engine running. “They left him with three bottles of soda but the baby died due to lack of fresh air,” said the chief. The two were arrested and taken to the Bumula Police Station while the body of the boy was taken to the Bungoma County Referral Hospital mortuary. Joseph Lupao, a children's welfare officer, condemned the two for abandoning the child in the car.
