Shock and grief embattled Hope Well Secondary School at Barut in Nakuru after one of teir teachers got brutally murdered leading to the arrest of a formfour student and another fellow in connection with the murder.
The High Court in Nakuru has ordered for a mental assessment of the student linked to the killing of the teacher.
The Form two student at Tumaini Secondary School is suspected to have been involved in the murder of Peter Omare.
The suspect appeared before Nakuru Judge Justice Janet Mulwa but did not plead to the charges. He was however informed why he was in court.
Mulwa heard that on January 24, 2019 at Barut Rhonda Estate in Nakuru West Sub-County within Nakuru County, he allegedly killed Omare, a Physics and Computer Science teacher.
The student, through lawyer Peter Bore, in an application sought to be admitted on bond pending plea taking.
The court declined to admit the application, adding that it was too early to request bail. No mental assessment had been done on him.
Prosecutor Joyce Serling asked the court to order that the suspect be escorted to Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital for mental assessment. She also sought that the student be remanded at Nakuru GK Prison.
