A 15-year-old form Three Student at Bande Girls Secondary School in Migori County, Kenya, committed suicide by hanging on Sunday, September 24, 2023.

A Police Incident report indicates that the 15-year-old girl went to a church service within the school compound together with other students.

The teenage girl was said to have committed suicide using a sisal rope.

Police accompanied by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers arrived at the scene to investigate the motives of the incident.
