An investigation has been conducted by the police in Emuhaya, Vihiga County, to determine the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a deceased Grade 7 student inside a house.
According to Chuk Masua, Deputy County Commissioner for Emuhaya, the 18-year-old boy was found dead in the Em'mukunzi area in a neighbor's house where he used to sleep.
Before calling the police, the deceased's neighbors noticed him on the floor and peered through the window, wondering why the door to the house he was living in had not been opened.
"Neighbours broke the bedroom window when they discovered the door was still closed from inside and saw the body of the boy on the floor, prompting them to call police," Masua said.
