The girl is said to have picked a stone and hit the elderly woman on the ribs, after which she fell down and collapsed.
Olwasi was rushed to a nearby private hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Rotich said that Olwasi’s body was later moved to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) morgue awaiting autopsy.
According to police, the incident which was reported on Monday at 4pm, happened at Konywera village, East Reru sub-location of West Seme location.
“The woman’s grandchildren are the ones who reported the incident at our station,” she added.
