Kelvin Kibet

Daisy and Tonny, a couple from Kitale in Trans Nzoia County, died after a reported gas explosion in July 2026, according to coverage citing their family. Tonny was buried on July 22; Daisy later died in hospital from injuries, and relatives planned her burial for July 29.

What is known and what is not

Family accounts reported by Tuko described the couple being injured in a suspected gas explosion. The reports reviewed for this update did not include a technical investigation establishing the exact cause. A suspected leak should therefore not be treated as a confirmed finding.

This article does not repeat conflicting claims about the couple’s final hours or their medical treatment as settled fact. We extend condolences to their families and will update the account if authorities publish verified findings.

Gas safety: steps to take if you smell gas

  • Do not light a flame, smoke, or operate electrical switches.
  • If it is safe, turn off the cylinder valve and open doors and windows.
  • Leave the area and call local emergency services or a qualified gas technician from a safe location.
  • Do not use a cylinder or regulator that appears damaged, and do not attempt repairs yourself.

Safety guidance is general and does not establish what caused this incident.
