Police are proving an incident in which a pupil was found hanging on a tree The body of the boy was discovered by another boy from the same school An inquest filed over the incident

The body of a Standard Two boy was yesterday found hanging from an avocado tree. Imenti North OCPD Sammy Kosgei said the boy was a pupil at Giaki Primary School.

 Mr Kosgei said the body was discovered by another boy from the same school. Kosgei said the police had launched investigations, noting that the boy appeared to have been too young to commit suicide.

 "Ironically, the parents wanted to rush and bury the body before the post-mortem analysis was done but we declined the request," said the OCPD.

 He said an inquest filed over the incident will soon be opened and urged anybody with any information to forward it to the police.

 The body was taken to Meru Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
