Pupil Arrested For Killing His Teacher After Disagreeing Over Water

A 16-year-old pupil in class six at Shihuli Primary school, Kakamega County was arrested for allegedly killing a teacher over water.

The teacher whom police identified as Maurice Khataka Shibutse, is said to have disagreed with the suspect who happen to be his neighbour.

Speaking to a local daily, Khataka’s wife Evelyne Muhenje, disclosed that her husband had stopped the minor from fetching water from his well – something that did not sit well with the suspect.

“My husband declined to allow the suspect to fetch water from our well, he forcibly tried to gain entry, but he was overpowered. He then picked stones and hurled them at my husband and ran away,” Evelyne said. 

She further added her husband fell to the ground unconscious after the pupil knocked him on the left side of the head.

The deceased was then rushed to St Elizabeth Mukumu hospital before being referred to Kakamega County Teaching and Referral hospital.
