A 21-year-old student is being sought by police for allegedly killing his 18-year-old schoolmate in Belgut, Kericho county.
The two, who are form three students at Keben high school, are said to have been in an altercation on Wednesday morning before the matter took a shocking turn.
Witnesses say the female student died on the spot.
The incident paralysed learning activities at the school, with irate students storming out of the school, demanding justice for the slain student.
Police officers in Kericho have launched a manhunt for the student who went into hiding shortly after.
