Residents of Monianku village in South Mugirango, Kisii County are mourning the death of a 13-year-old boy who died after he engaged in a fist fight with his friend.
The incident happened on Friday.
Confirming the incident, area chief, Edward Sure, said the minor, Isaiah Twoni disagreed with his friend, Nicholas Okemwa while they were returning home from school leading to a fight.
"Twoni was insulted by Okemwa. He got angered and started a fight. Okemwa hit him with a blow from the back of his head,” said Sure.
Sure said Twoni collapsed after he was hit.
He said passersby rushed Twoni to a local health center at Etago where he was referred to Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital.
