The heartbreaking incident happened in one of the villages within the county and has left the community in deep shock.
According to neighbors, the children were inside the house when the fire suddenly broke out. Their mother had reportedly stepped out for a short while, leaving them at home. When she returned, she found the house engulfed in flames and efforts to rescue the children were unsuccessful.
Witnesses said villagers rushed to the scene after noticing smoke rising from the house. They tried to put out the fire using water and sand, but the flames had already spread quickly through the structure. The house was badly damaged before the fire was finally controlled.
The mother is said to have broken down in tears after learning that her children had died inside the burning house. Family members and neighbors gathered to comfort her as the reality of the tragedy sank in.
Police officers and local administrators later arrived at the scene and began investigations to determine the cause of the fire. The bodies of the children were moved to a nearby mortuary as authorities continue with inquiries.
Early reports suggest the fire may have started from a cooking area or another source inside the house, but officials said it is too early to confirm the exact cause until investigations are completed.
The tragedy has sparked renewed concern over fire safety in homes, especially in rural areas where many houses are built using materials that catch fire easily.
Residents have also been urged not to leave young children alone in houses for long periods.
Leaders in the area sent messages of condolence to the grieving family and called on well-wishers to support them during this painful time.
As Kilifi residents come to terms with the shocking loss, many described the incident as one of the most painful tragedies the village has witnessed in recent years.
The community is now standing with the bereaved mother as she faces the unimaginable pain of losing her children in such a devastating manner.
