Police in the Navakholo Constituency are holding a 19-year-old Form Four student for allegedly murdering a Form Two student for refusing to abort her one month old pregnancy.
The two are said to have been in a romantic relationship.
Navakholo OCPD Christopher Kirui confirmed the incident. "The report we have is that, since both sides of the families know the romantic relationship of the two, the deceased parents reported the boy to his family for being responsible for the pregnancy and when the suspect knew he had been reported, he convinced the girl to do an abortion but his request fell on deaf ears," said Kirui.
The OCPD added that the unsatisfied and unhappy suspect went to the girl's parents' home at around 4 am, a visit the deceased sister was aware of, and the two discussed before they left all together later for the girl to be found dead.
