Evelyne Achungo claimed that the anti-riot police unfairly targeted her family during anti-government demonstrations.
She said her sons were sleeping in the house on Friday, July 21, when police officers forcefully gained entry.
The devastated mother of two said the men in uniform dragged her sons outside and started beating them.
For now, Everlyne is now left to shoulder the burial expenses for her two eldest children.
Meanwhile, Sixteen deaths have so far been recorded in Kisumu County as a result of police brutality during the anti-government protests.
