Kisii School Incident

This comes just a day after a Form 3 student was arraigned in court in Kisii for stabbing two teachers.

Police Commander Jebel Munene said the student is in custody at Kisii Police Station awaiting arraignment as investigations continue.

The incident occurred after Mr Edwin Mokaya questioned the student for coming late to class. He then took him to the staffroom and asked him to kneel down.

It is there that the student reportedly took a knife and stabbed Mr Mokaya on the forehead, back and legs.

Another teacher, Elvis Maoto, who attempted to intervene was also stabbed before his colleagues managed to restrain the student.
