Crime scene

The family of a form three Maseno school student who died after falling from the second floor of their dormitory has refuted claims that their kin committed suicide.

The student died while undergoing treatment at Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.

The student had been rushed to Coptic hospital in Luanda sub-county for treatment after the fall.

Having sustained serious head injuries, he was rushed to Aga Khan Hospital.

The family who spoke to the media on the phone noted that their son's death was surrounded by unclear matters that need to be unravelled.

Caleb Ingolo noted that the school must come out and tell them what exactly transpired.

A suicide note, according to the police report, was recovered from his desk.

It was addressed to his close friend and classmate to take possession of his belonging.

"There was an indication that there was some misunderstanding with his parents due to what his closest friend said to be a poor class performance", the report read in parts.

The deceased father Ingolo, however, noted the claim on the alleged suicide note was not adding up from where it was found, when written including the handwriting.

"The handwriting, first of all, is suspicious," he said.

"People die. We are not asking anyone to resurrect him but we want to know the truth."

He noted that it was sad that even in the cubicle where the boy was with his colleagues did not hear anything or any commotion apart from those on the ground floor, where the boy is alleged to have fallen.

He said the nobody in the school seems to know anything despite having, teachers, and security guards including the student.

Ingolo also wondered how and why the school's CCTV cameras were not working on a fateful day.

He noted that he was not in agreement with the allegation that their son had issues due to poor performance.

"Instead of running around with some narratives, they should tell us the truth that is all we want."
