Form one student from a Kisumu School dies mysteriously.

 

A FORM One student schooling within one of the schools in Kisumu City died mysteriously today morning throwing the school in a state of somber mood.

Following the incident, the School is now on the spot after the student is alleged to have died mysteriously at the school premises after attending morning preps.

He fellow students however raised suspicion when the girl extended her stay at the hall of residence only to find out that she was weak and could not stand up to attend the day’s school’s academic activities.

Kisumu County Police Boss Benson Mawewo confirmed the incidents and said the girl identified as Anastacia Chepkoech of Kisumu Girls High School left class at 6.30am and went straight to the dormitory.

Mawewo said the students rushed to notify the school’s matron who later organized for her to be taken to the nearby County Referral Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The body was later moved to the mortuary of the Level 4 hospital awaiting postmortem.

“Preliminary report we have as the police indicate that the girl has been sick for the last one week and was being treated at the school dispensary,” the Police boss said.

The Kisumu Police Boss said they have launched investigations to ascertain the veracity of the information collected from the institution.

He says the police are closely working with the medical personnel as they await the result of postmortem to establish what actually caused the death of the students.

A news source at the hospital who is not authorized to talk to the media told some journalists that the deceased was taken to the facility by two teachers from the said school.

This comes as a section of parents raised concerns that the school has been frustrating students and always reluctant to release students when they report sick.

The hospital administrator Evans Oloo said that the hospital pathologist is waiting for the parents of the deceased in order for them to carry out the autopsy.

When the media visited the school and stayed there for nearly three hours, their effort to get a comment from the school administration turned futile after the principal Margaret Mamai Mechumo avoided the media and hid within the school.

For the better part of the day, Officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations from Kisumu Central Police station conducted a series of probe but did not talk to the media because of the sensitivity of the matter.

The parents of the deceased who were also notified were said to have been locked at the headmistress’s office for the better part of the day while in a meeting with the school’s Authority including the school’s some Board of Management Members.
