A form three student on Wednesday, May 4, stabbed his counterpart to death in Keben High School of Belgut, Kericho County.
The two are said to have argued before the victim was stabbed multiple times in the left side of her chest shortly before 8 a.m.
Learning had been disrupted at Keben High School after students walked out in protest of their colleague’s death.
