Naivasha Secondary School closed after student kills classmate

Education officers in Naivasha have indefinitely closed a secondary school after one student hit to death his colleague during a fight.

Over 300 students from Naivasha Secondary School were sent home after the incident, which caused anxiety and tension in the institution.

The Form Three student died at Kenyatta National Hospital where he had been referred to for treatment from the Naivasha Sub-county Hospital. Trouble started when the two students differed over a blanket leading to a bloody fight with one of them hitting the other with a blunt object.

A witness who declined to be named said the deceased was hit on the head with a metal object and collapsed before being rushed to hospital.
