A family in Muranga is finding it hard to accept the circumstances that preceded the death of their Form Three student whose body was found floating in a swimming pool, hours after allegedly participating in a school swimming competition on Friday, February 16.

Kelvin Kariuki Wanjiru, an orphan from St Paul Gathukiini Secondary School had gone for a swimming competition at Elite Secondary School in Kiharu, a few meters from Murang'a Town where eight other schools were participating. He was among the nine students from his school that were taking part in the swimming competition for inter-schools in Murang’a East sub-county.
