A child was yesterday burned to death when a fire gutted down the Gilgil police lines. The 10-year-old disabled girl was burned beyond recognition in the 9pm incident. More than 20 police officers were forced to spend the night in the cold as the fire destroyed their property worth thousands of shillings including a gun. Operations in the busy police station came to a standstill for more than three hours as the police and wananchi tried to contain the inferno. According to a witness, the fire emerged from one of the timber houses before spreading to the adjoining structures.
