An alleged suicide note by a form three student who took her own life after being accused of stealing Ksh 2500 has emerged.

"I told you guys that I am not responsible for the lost pencils but you still believe in your instinct that is the one.

Well only God knows because I do not want to cause more trouble in this school let me cut myself off."

She said she was happy she would meet her dad who had passed away earlier.

Earlier reports has indicated that the girl had been adversely mentioned as a suspect by the majority of her colleagues when the matter was investigated.

It was also alleged that before her death, the girl had admitted to stealing the cash.

Matungulu deputy sub-county police commander Evans Mose said the body was found dangling from rafts of a toilet at a local school.

The matter was reported to the Tala police station at around 3.40 pm on Wednesday.

He said the girl had been accused of stealing Sh2,500 pocket money from her fellow student.

"The deceased admitted that she stole the said money and had kept it in the dormitory." Mose told the Star by phone on Thursday.

He said the student was told by the teacher to retrieve the money from where she had hidden it during break time and give it to the school's administration.

It is at that time that the deceased is said to have hatched the scheme to end her life.

"The girl was given keys to the dormitory but she failed to return. This prompted the deputy principal to go looking for her. Unfortunately, they found the girl's body dangling from the roof of a toilet inside the dormitory building," Mose said.

Police moved the body to Kangundo level four hospital mortuary, awaiting postmortem.
