Police in Emurua Dikirr, Narok County have launched a probe after a 13-year-old Grade 8 pupil died by suicide at Changina area.
According to Trans Mara East Sub-county Police boss Boniface Kavoo, the body of the deceased was found hanging from one of the tree branches inside their homestead with a rope tied around his neck.
Mr Kavoo said the deceased, who was a pupil at Changina Primary School, allegedly quarreled with his elder brother before his body was found by his mother after he raised suspicion as to why he hadn’t turned up for breakfast on time as usual.
“We visited the scene, the body had no physical injuries apart from a few bruises on the neck where the rope gripped. We also didn’t find any suicide note at the scene,” added the police boss.
The mother of the deceased wasn’t able to explain the horror she witnessed, terming the incident as unfortunate considering her son had no personal difference with any member of the family.
Police processed the scene before they moved the body to Kapkatet Hospital morgue.
