On Monday evening, an unknown person stabbed a female form-one student at Kuoyo mixed secondary school in Kisumu West Sub County.

According to the area MCA, Vincent Jagongo, the attacker stabbed the girl five times around Lela along Kisumu Busia road.

Speaking to the press in Kisumu on Tuesday, he said the incident has caused psychological torture among students as insecurity soars up in the area.

“I want to condemn what happened last evening in my ward, it is an incident that has left us with many questions,” he said.

The MCA says the student was returning home after school when she was attacked.

“It is still not known whether she was attacked by an individual or a group of people,” he added.

The last student who departed with her on their way home said she was in high spirits, only to learn that the roadside had found her body in a pool of blood.

The MCA called upon law enforcement officers to thoroughly investigate the matter and bring to book the culprits.

“Our officers must work round the clock to apprehend who was behind that heinous act, this should not go unpunished,” he said.

The deceased's body was taken to Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem examinations.
