According to the doctor’s report, the student’s jaw and ears were badly injured.
The girl left hospital after three days and went home. Her father, Wilberforce Were, asked her to return to school but she declined.

“However, when I went to check on her later, she agreed to go back to school. I went to look for money but before I could return, my mother called and informed me she was seriously sick….. I went and found my daughter weak. She had even defecated on herself. She had vomited a yellow substance. She immediately collapsed and died in my arms.” The Deceased’s father lamented.
Meanwhile, The school principal Janet Akoth declined to talk to the press and the Khwisero OCPD Lanet Sili said they were investigating the matter and anyone found culpable would be arrested.
