Family and friends were still lost for words as they disclosed the bond shared between Rose and Robin.
After an emotional burial ceremony, the siblings were buried side by side.
Rose's brother Aaron Koech told TUKO.co.ke that she was going about her duties when she started complaining about severe headaches and stomach aches.
According to the brother, symptoms persisted before she died on the same day, Wednesday, April 3.
Upon getting news of his sister's death, Robinson, popularly known as Robi, decided to travel from Eldoret and join his family in mourning.
However, he did not live to get home after getting into an accident along the way and succumbed to his injuries.
Elsewhere, grief engulfed Mayuke village, Malava Constituency, after two brothers who were students at a local secondary school were killed after they were struck by lightning while studying.
The bodies of the Form Three and Form Two students at Bukakhunga Secondary were burnt beyond recognition by the lightning inside their house during a heavy downpour.
David Wanjala, the father of the boys, said he saw off his two children, aged 16 and 18, at their house to conduct studies before the unfortunate incident happened.
He said at around 9.30 pm, he saw lightning and heard a shattering sound of thunder followed by smoke.
