Spread the love

A primary school headteacher took his own life inside his offices at the institution’s administration block. 

Kioko Mutie committed suicide on Monday evening, June 21, 2021, at Yanyonge Primary School. 

Area Assistant Chief Mulinge Wambua confirmed the incident, stating that they were astounded by the death as the 46-year-old as he was a charistmatic leader.

“He had never shown any signs of depression as he was full of life,” Wambua noted. 

The authorities could not ascertain why he took his own life. A search for a suicide note or any other hints was futile.  

Pupils and teachers converged at the administration block to mourn their principal who hanged himself. 

Teachers and parents lauded the deceased stating that he was an education enthusiast and disciplinarian. 

“He always arrived in school early to begin teaching and correlated well with teachers,” a tutor eulogised, adding that he was a student’s favourite. 

The body of the deceased was ferried to a nearby morgue awaiting a postmortem by a government pathologist. 

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 800,000 people die from suicide each year (that is one person every 40 seconds), the majority of them aged 15-29, in which age-group suicide is the second leading cause of death.
