The crash
The helicopter crashed near Chepkieb Primary School in a densely forested area amid heavy rainfall, which is believed to have contributed to the accident.
Videos circulating online from the scene show the aircraft engulfed in flames, with thick smoke rising above the wreckage.
Charred remains were visible inside the helicopter, partially obscured by thick bushes, while onlookers could be seen milling around the crash site.
The helicopter was an Airbus H125 with registration 5Y-D
