A school boy in Mumias committed suicide on Friday morning, just days after finishing his KCPE examinations.
A relative found the body of Jacob Ouma, 18, hanging from a rope in his parent's house in Shibale village.
It was said Ouma, who attended DEB Mumias Muslim Primary School,
had been missing for a few hours.
Reports indicated no problems as he wrote the tests but differences with his parents thereafter.
Police found a note in which the pupil said he decided to take his own life due to wrangles in his family.
It was said he and his parents quarreled often about many matters.
Mumias police boss Peter Kattam said: "It’s a sad day...this is unfortunate...young people should seek counselling when they have such problems."
The body was taken to St Mary's Mortuary.
