Sironga Girls Principal Breaks Silence After Student jumps to her death in suspected suicide Case

Sironga Girls Principal Breaks Silence After a Form Four allegedly jumped from the second floor of their administration block on Saturday morning.

The School Principal Jane Nyanumba narrated that the girl jumped from the building when the rest of the girls were preparing to begin the day.

“The girls were preparing to start the day when the student jumped from the building. She was injured and rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead,” she said.

The principal added the deceased girl was in her usual mood and had shown no signs of distress.

“She was okay and even slept well. We are shocked.”

Nyamira South Deputy County Commissioner Florence Obunga said she was informed of the incident by the school principal at 6.30 am.

“We went there with the subcounty security team after learning of the incident and established she had sustained injuries to the head,” she said.

On his part, West Mugirango MP Steve Mogaka called on investigating agencies to establish the cause of the student’s demise so that similar incidents can be avoided in the future.

“Mental health has become a leading killer disease, and through Parliament, I will ensure that I draft a motion for counselling lessons to be included in the curriculum to reduce the suicide cases among the youth,” he said.
