DCI Arrests 4 Staff Members After Pupil Dies in School

A headteacher in Buruburu was taken into custody by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Saturday following the discovery of a 13-year-old student’s body on school grounds.

According to a report made public by the Directorate on Saturday, the student’s lifeless corpse was discovered outside the director’s office of the school after falling from a higher level.

After conducting investigations, the investigators concluded that the injuries on the body did not match the school management’s suggestion that the victim had fallen from a higher floor.

In addition to the school director, the accountant, and another staff member, the cops detained them after the finding in order to assist with their inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the alleged murder.

According to a report recorded by the school Director at the police station, the class eight pupil at the boarding institution was discovered missing at 6.30 pm, after she failed to show up for supper.

“The reporter indicated that a search had then been conducted throughout the school’s eight-storey building before stumbling on her lifeless body at a 1st-floor balcony outside the Director’s office,” DCI noted. 

Since then, the police have processed the area, which is now thought to be a crime scene, and they have given the staff and students the order to stay away from the area until the investigations are finished.

To assist the police in obtaining additional details regarding the cause of death, the body has been transported to the Mama Lucy Hospital Mortuary and is awaiting an autopsy.

Following the deaths of two students who had symptoms like nosebleeds, yellow eyes, vomiting, the flu, and excruciating headaches, parents from a school in Mwingi North called the police to begin an investigation on Wednesday.

Josphat Kimotho, the headteacher of the school, claims that after some students complained of having terrible migraines, the school permitted them to seek medical assistance.

Five students arrived on Monday to request permission to visit the hospital due to terrible headaches they had been experiencing. We gave them permission to have treatment at a local dispensary,” the headteacher said.

Noting that the students remained in risk, local Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Titus Kasinga backed the family’s request for an investigation.
