The victim is claimed to have been the only son in his family and he was in the institution courtesy of a well-wisher after losing his mother in 2015.

Confirming the report, County Police Commander Martin Kibet noted that police are already conducting investigations into the matter.

Officers from the Nyarambe police station interrogated the teachers after the incident but are yet to make any arrests.
