A class eight pupil has committed suicide following a row regarding a mobile phone.
The incident occurred in Kasibos village in Homa Bay county.
Reports indicate that the minor was found dead behind his parent’s house hours after his father refused to give him back his phone.

The father was supposed to have bought a phone by Wednesday but did not hand the phone back as agreed.
