Machakos sub-county criminal investigations officer Fredrick Ikaal said the male student succumbed at Kenyatta National Hospital on Sunday.
“The student succumbed to the injuries on Sunday after he was attacked by thugs at Kathemboni area within Machakos township on December 1,” Ikaal said.
The incident has sparked protests among Machakos University students.
The students were on Monday involving police officers in running battles within Machakos town.
This is the second time the students are demonstrating over what they term as increased insecurity amongst comrades.
Security officers had earlier held a meeting with the students’ leadership chaired by Machakos County police commander Issa Mohammud before the protests were called off.
The student’s attack comes at a time when police have intensified security operations in Machakos town and its environs.
Fourteen robbery with violence suspects were last Friday arrested in the town.
