Form 3 student in Custody for Killing School Guard in Vihiga

A form three student from Nyang’ori Boys Secondary School in Vihiga is in Police custody after he allegedly attacked and killed a school guard.

Reports indicate that the student in question attacked the guard (Willy Mukonambi) with a rod, hitting him several times on the head before he was saved by his colleagues.

He was then rushed to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

A police report explains that the student had become unruly, attacking his fellow students, an act that forced the guard to intervene, before the student turned on him.
