The children, aged four, three, two, and one, were trapped inside their house when the blaze broke out.
The fire consumed the building quickly, and by the time their mother returned from a local market, it was too late.
The children were found burnt beyond recognition, and the cause of the fire remains undetermined.
Authorities are conducting investigations, but no clear answers have emerged yet.
The mother, who had locked the children inside the house while she went to buy goods, was devastated to find the house completely destroyed by the fire.
Emergency responders moved the children's bodies to a nearby morgue, where further autopsies and investigations will take place.
This tragedy has left the family and the community in shock, as the loss of four young lives has touched many hearts.
Meanwhile, in Likoni, Mombasa County, another family is facing a nightmare. A 12-year-old boy from Damam Timbwani area drowned while swimming with friends on the evening of December 19.
The boy, who was enjoying the water with two companions, was swept away and did not resurface.
His family has been at the scene ever since, hoping for news of his body. Despite efforts by county divers to locate him, the boy’s body has yet to be recovered.
The incident has caused immense anguish for his parents, who are desperately waiting for any updates.
Authorities have called on parents to be more vigilant, particularly in situations where children may be at risk, such as during outdoor activities or when left at home alone.
Local police have urged caregivers to always keep a close eye on their children to prevent further accidents.
As investigations continue in both cases, the families of the victims are left grappling with unimaginable grief.
The community has rallied around them, offering support and sympathy during these trying times.
