Form 2 student commits suicide after failing to pay for stolen bicycle

By Charles Gikunga

A Form 2 student in Kihara High School is reported to have committed suicide after he was unable to pay his friend’s bicycle which was stolen while in his possession.

The student is said to have tried to get menial jobs after school to raise money to pay back but that wasn’t enough.

However, the due date caught up with him and wracked with guilt he took his own life.

His mother told Citizen Digital that she was not aware her son had lost someone’s property or he was going to commit suicide.

The family however, wants police to find out who it is he owed money for the lost bicycle and why they pushed him to commit suicide.

The body of the deceased was moved to Gachie mortuary.
