The bodies of the two girls were rushed to Maua Methodist Hospital Mortuary.
Angry residents took to the streets setting ablaze 2 Lorries belonging to Intex Constructions Company paralyzing road construction activities.

The officers cautioned the residents against taking law into their hands instead urging wait for the verdict of the investigations.
The area MP Thoita M’Mithiaro who rushed to the ugly scene from a fundraiser in a nearby school asked the residents to keep calm and adhere to the law.
