The number of university and college female students who have died this year alone should be a course of worry for parents and higher institutions administrators . Parents have to bear the pain of losing their children who naively trusted demented characters. 

Suicide among students is also on the rise and proper mechanisms have to be put into place to mitigate these needless deaths. Some of the students have died for simply finding themselves in the company of people who live dangerous lifestyles.

Here is a list of notable cases that left Kenyans with more questions than answers.

1.Carol Ngumbu-21 (KMTC student)It is alleged that the KMTC student in the company of slain IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando. Carol Ngumbu was only 21 years at the time of her death. She was set to graduate from the Kenya Medical Training College in December. It is alleged that the two had been friends and had spent the night together before the killers struck. Their bodies were found at Muguga Forest in Kikuyu. 

2.Diana Mumbi Mwangi-(Multimedia University of Kenya)Nothing is more distressing than sending your child to the university only to find her in a morgue after months of searching. This is what happened to Peter Mwangi who found her daughter’s body at the Kenyatta National Hospital mortuary after a month long search. The 21 year old was found unconscious at a lodging in Eastleigh on November 19. It is alleged that she was poisoned.

3.Stella Karanja-(Kenyatta University)The rate of suicide in this country is alarming and little is being done to address the trend of young people taking their own lives. Stella Karanja, a fifth year medical student, took her own life within the University compound.

4.Grace Nduta Mwaura- (JKUAT)The 22 year was found brutally murdered after going missing for nine days. Her intestines and limbs were stashed in a bucket and hidden in the ceiling of a house in Kahawa Sukari. Grace Nduta Mwaura brother is the main suspect in the gruesome murder.
