The teacher accused of caning a form three student at Kangaru Boys Secondary School risks a long jail term after autopsy revealed that the student was hit by a blunt object multiple times causing blood clots.
Post-mortem examination revealed that the student who died last week after he was allegedly caned by a teacher showed he had blood clots in different parts of the body.
According to Irene Waruguru, the guardian of Kennedy Nyagashe, the results of the autopsy indicated the student had blood clots below the knee, abdomen and brain.
She said the pathologist told her that the blood clots revealed he was hit with a blunt object.
During the autopsy, Waruguru was accompanied by two police officers who are carrying out investigations, and two teachers who represented the school.
The teacher who is accused of hitting the student with a mop stick was arrested on Thursday. He recorded a statement and was realised on police bond of Sh50,000.
