St. Joseph Nyabigena prefect in Kisii county fiercely beats a form three student who found him reading a bible.
The form three student was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Tabaka Mission hospital where he had been rushed following the incident.
The Nation reports that the student got into an argument with the school prefect after he was found reading a bible at 7 am on Tuesday, February 26.
A student who spoke of the matter says that the prefect- a form four student- slapped the victim and kicked him in the stomach severally.
The victim was the only son in his family and was in school courtesy of a well wisher after losing his mum in 2015.
Although the administration turned down requests to speak to the media, a section of teachers have accused the school management of giving too much power to student leaders.
