10-year-old boy commits suicide in Nakuru

A 10-year-old boy committed suicide on Wednesday morning at Ndimu village in Molo, Nakuru County.

Confirming the incident, Elburgon Assistant County Commissioner Naftali Korir  said the Class Five pupil hanged himself at their home.

According to the commissioner, preliminary investigations indicate that the boy took his life after he was denied permission to travel to Nairobi for holidays.

“We haven’t established yet what drove the boy to that extent but we are investigating keenly,” he said.

The body was taken to Elburgon Nyayo Hospital mortuary.
