They were reportedly arrested for operating beyond the curfew hours amid the Covid-19 pandemic before later being found dead in a mortuary in Embu.
The parents are suspecting foul play in the death of their sons adding that they were very healthy children who could not have died under normal circumstances.
Embu East police boss Emily Ngaruiya has however dismissed the claims stating that the two boys died after jumping from a moving police vehicle.
A probe into the matter has been opened with a post mortem on their bodies expected to be conducted to ascertain the circumstances under which they died.
