Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno is among six people dead after helicopter that they were travelling in crashed and burst into flames on edge of Chepkieb Forest in Mosop, Nandi County, on Saturday evening.
The chopper went down at about 4.40pm, shot time after attempting to take off from a makeshift landing site near the forest, following what witnesses described as poor visibility caused by ongoing rains in the area. All the six people on helicopter, including the pilot, are believed to have died on the spot. The aircraft had reportedly ferried five passengers en route from bukusu before the crash.
