A two-month-old infant choked on milk while under the care of his eight-year-old sibling.

The boy's mother said he was being fed by his sister when he choked.

Janet Gathoni said she rushed the baby to a nearby clinic but he died on the way there.

Police are investigating the death, which happened in Mathare North Area 3, Nairobi.

The incident was reported to the Muthaiga Police Station 30 minutes after midnight on Thursday.

Separately, a man was lynched in the city’s Dandora Estate.

A watchman at Supereagle Court in the estate told police that he had noticed a three-man gang mugging pedestrians.

He raised the alarm and a crowd that responded cornered one of the men and stoned him to death.
