On Sunday a 13-year old boy committed suicide in Chumani village Kilifi over a gambling dispute.
The standard four pupil identified as Evans Kadenge had a disagreement with his uncle aged 15 after he refused to give him Sh100 he had won in a cards gamble, three days earlier.
“We have our detectives on the ground to ascertain what exactly happened. This is too much. We believe there is something more which needs to be unearthed over that death, it is very sad,” Kilifi OCPD Alexander Makau said while confirming the incident.
Makau stated that they have already summoned the other minor to shed more light on what transpired.
“We shall question him so that he can shed more light on what happened. His statement will assist with our investigations because we strongly believe he has enough information concerning that death,” Makau said.
“On Sunday evening, the boy became infuriated by this. The two fought but the victim was overpowered and dashed to his house in a huff,” the chief said.
The chief mentioned that the young boy sent her little sister out to bring some water.
“The young sister returned only to find the boy hanging. He had hanged himself using a bed sheet,” Thoya said.
The body was taken to Kilifi county hospital mortuary.
