A soccer match at Marani turned tragic after one person died after he was struck by lightning yesterday. Two others were injured.
Deputy County Commissioner David Saruni told The Standard that Newton Nyantika died on the spot while his two friends suffered serious burns and were rushed to Marani Sub-County Hospital. Saruni said the two were out of danger after they were treated and later discharged to recuperate at home. The body was taken to Kisii County Hospital mortuary.
