A student identified as Enock Kipkoech from Kericho County passed away due to wounds he received as a result of a teacher's punishment.
The student's family has requested assistance from the authorities and demanded that the offender be brought to justice.
The 14-year-old student was found dead at his school, St Teresa Primary School in Kericho.
According to details published on K24, the Standard eight pupil was beaten severely by a teacher in the staffroom and later found dead in the dormitory.
The family says their son Enock Kipkoech reported for the third term at St Teresa primary school on September 26, 2022, while in good health.
His mother and father painfully recounted events leading to their son's death.
The pupil was allegedly instructed to relocate from his class while having their exams but would later return his locker to his class after the exams.
This supposedly upset the teacher in question who demanded that he proceed to the staffroom for punishment.
His peers heard the student's cries as he left the staffroom.
"The said teacher followed him in class and demanded that he goes straight to the dormitory and take bath only to be found dead at around 4:00 pm hanging by a noose," the boy's father Richard Siele said.
“Kipkoech had asked the school to allow him to call me that fateful day but he was turned down. Previously, he had asked us to transfer him from the said school due to corporal punishment but I had insisted that he finishes this third term. I did not know it would result in his death," the boy's mother Emily Siele said.
