A Class Two pupil allegedly committed suicide under unclear circumstances at their home in Ikonyero village in Lurambi Constituency, Kakamega County on Sunday.

The body of the 8-year-old boy was found dangling from the roof of their outdoor bathroom with a rope tied around his neck.

According to the boy’s mother, the body was discovered by children who were playing near the bathroom.

Kakamega OCPD David Kabena said it was still unclear why the Class Two at Ikonyero Primary School took his own life.

The body of the deceased was taken to the Kakamega County Teaching and Referral mortuary pending a post mortem examination.
