Three suspected students have been arrested following the death of one of their teachers.
According reports the Hopewell Secondary School in Nakuru teacher was on night duty on Thursday after which he was found dead.
Apparently the teacher had seized a mobile phone from one of the students who is in Form Four. The phone belonged to one of the suspects who is not a student but lived in the school’s neighbourhood.
According to the school Director Vitalis TIX Kahendah the school has zero tolerance on students being in possession of phones in the institution.
“I think the motive is the phone, which was confiscated from the student,” Kahendah said.
“Our rule here is that once a student is found in possession of a mobile phone, it is confiscated and handed over to him/her at the end of schooling. This might have informed the attack,” he added.
It is presumed the attackers who brutally beat the teacher to the head wee let into the school compound through an opening in the perimeter wall.
