According to the police, the minor’s elder sister tried to help her but she was also electrocuted in the process. She was saved by neighbours and whisked to safety. The body of the deceased was taken to the City Mortuary.
Kilimani Sub-County police boss Moss Ndiiwa said investigations into the incident have been launched.
“We have always asked Kenyans to follow due process when applying to be supplied with electricity. Such a death was caused by carelessness and lack of following protocol,” said Mr Ndiiwa.
This comes in the wake of a crackdown on vandals by the Kenya Power Company and law enforcement agencies in the country.
