Primary school couple commits suicide after finding out they were pregnant. Here are the loathsome details

A somber mood has engulfed a village in Marakwet as they start off 2017 after a primary school couple committed suicide when they found out they were pregnant.

As reported by Tuko, the boy 14 and the girl 13 committed the act yesterday after finding out their predicament and their bodies were identified in different locations.

They were both in class seven and their bodies were found in different locations. The boy at the parents’ home while the girl at a nearby forest.

According to the area chief, Benjamin Kipkemoi the two committed the heinous act in fear of their parents’ wrath though he promised to carry out more investigations.

Just how harsh do you have to be a parent for your child to contemplate committing suicide rather than facing you?
