The fourth victim is, however, yet to be identified.
City Mortuary superintendent Patrick Kibugi told The Standard that the three identified victims are Fredrick Obare Mokaya, Moses Amenya Nyachae, and Pernus Wanjohi.
“One body was brought to City Mortuary on Saturday, while the other three were brought to the facility on Sunday,” said Kibugi.
