Saturday, March 28, 2026 - A family in Gilgil is seeking answers following the tragic death of their son, who was found in a school fish pond under unclear circumstances.
According to the family, the boy went missing at around 10
a.m within the Gilgil Hills School area where he studies.
His body was later discovered at approximately 1 p.m in a
fish pond located within the school compound.
The incident has raised serious concerns, with the family
accusing school authorities of providing conflicting information regarding what
transpired.
They further allege that Faiz was taken to Gilgil Sub-County
Hospital without their knowledge, sparking outrage over the handling of the
situation.
“It’s still unclear how he ended up in the water and
drowned. The school management needs to provide clarity on what happened to
Faiz and release the CCTV footage,” a family member stated.
The family has also appealed to the hospital to refrain from
conducting a post-mortem without the presence of their representatives,
expressing fears over transparency in the process.
Adding to their concerns, they claim the morgue was closed
shortly after receiving the body at around 5 p.m, further complicating efforts
to get immediate answers.
The grieving family has now called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to step in and conduct a thorough and independent probe into the incident.
