 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

 Father charged with vehicular manslaughter after toddler drowns in floodwaters

A California father has been charged with vehicular manslaughter after his 2-year-old son died in floodwaters last month.

The incident occurred on Sept. 18, when authorities responded to reports of a car swept away by floodwaters. The driver, 26-year-old Brandon Padilla-Aguilera, and his son, Xavier, managed to escape the vehicle but became separated. Xavier was found dead the following day after a search by emergency responders and volunteers.

Court documents filed Tuesday charge Padilla-Aguilera with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and child abuse under circumstances likely to cause serious injury or death. The complaint alleges he caused his son’s death while driving.

Padilla-Aguilera was arrested at his Barstow home on Friday. Prosecutors confirmed they are pursuing vehicular manslaughter and child abuse charges. His defense attorney denied guilt during his first court appearance, and he is scheduled to return to court next week.
