Police in Kisumu East Sub County are probing an incident where a woman and her three children were burnt inside their house in Manyatta along Kisumu Nairobi highway.
The suspected arsonist is said to have locked the door from outside before setting the Mabati structure ablaze using petrol during the 2 am incident.
Ten other nearby houses were also burnt with occupants losing all their belongings despite efforts from the Kisumu fire department to put out the fire.
Distraught neighbours this morning recounted events leading to the heinous act saying they suspect the incident was triggered by a love triangle.
Neighbours say the mother, who is a vegetable vendor in the nearby Nyamasaria market was burnt beyond recognition alongside her three kids.
Reports indicate that the man suspected to be behind the arson is said to have sometime last year also attempted to burn the woman inside her house.
James Odondo who is the Manyatta A location chief confirmed the incident saying the four bodies were taken to JOOTRH morgue.
