Residents of Maragua, Murang'a County, are mourning the death of a Grade Nine student from Gikomoro Primary School after a wall collapsed on him.
According to witnesses, the tragic incident was caused by the deterioration of a wall that had been built over 20 years ago and was structurally weak. 15-year-old Francis Gichuhi was with his classmates and was returning home from school when he stayed behind to tie his shoelaces.
It was then that the wall started collapsing, and a brick fell on him.
His classmates tried to rescue him, but the entire wall collapsed, crushing him to death.
