For some candidates, their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination results mean everything to them. However, is it ever that serious to the point of taking your own life? It looks like that for some candidates, just entertaining the thought of failing or not achieving what you hoped for is enough to make them take their own life.

A family in Kiserian, Kajiado County is now in mourning after their son committed suicide on Friday just moments before the KSCE results were released.

The deceased, who was a student at Lenana School, is reported to have gone missing as the rest of the family members were following the live coverage of the KCSE 2018 results release on television. Police sources said that the body of  the 18-year-old was found dangling in the upstairs family room which is still under construction.

Police have launched a probe into the incident saying that the motive behind the alleged suicide is yet to be established since the police did not find any suicide note nor anything suspicious.

The body of the deceased was moved to Montezuma Mortuary, Nairobi.

 

Do you think the reason candidates commit suicide is because of the pressure to perform well that is put on them by those close to them?
