A sad mood engulfed a village in Njoro
after a 12-year-old boy committed
suicide by hanging himself last night.
It is said that the boy locked himself
in his room after the parents argued
at their house. He had earlier on
complained to his friends that his dad
always quarreled the mother and he
was not happy about their parents’
lifestyle.
According to Njoro OCPD Peter Njeru,
the body of the standard six pupil was
discovered by his mother, hanging
from his room on Thursday night at
8pm.
Njeru explained that the mother was
concerned when the boy did not show
up for supper and when she went to
call him she found his body dangling on
a rope.
The boy is said to have left a note
saying he had left his books with his
class teacher but he did not offer any
clear explanation as to why he decided
to end his life.
The OCPD expressed concern over the
rise of juvenile suicides and advised
parents to open up with their children
and be free to discuss issues that
might be affecting them.
The body was taken to Molo District
Hospital morgue.
