A 17-year-old student has been lynched by girls of a neighboring high school in Kiambu County.

He succumbed to injuries sustained after he was attacked by the girls.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) confirmed the incident in a statement that explained the Form Four student was among six boys who sneaked into Komathai Girls High School at around 4am on Thursday morning and attempted to gain access into one of the dormitories.
“They had in the cover of darkness tiptoed into Phoeb House for an unknown reason before they were spotted by some girls who immediately raised alarm,” DCI said in a statement.
