Esther Wanja Wamburi was alone in her wooden house when the blaze broke out at 8pm. It is sad that she was burnt alive and the incident is still mysterious,” said Mr Wachira. Mr Wachira said efforts to save his mother were thwarted by the fast-spreading fire. “She was immobile and I used to carry her from her house to my house so that we can have evening meals together. My two sons used to sleep in her house [to give her] company and take care of her,” added Mr Wachira.
