Eleven students of Manga Girls’ Model School in Nyamira County were on Saturday, March 13 injured while rescuing a suicidal schoolmate.
The suicidal girl had attempted to jump from the second-floor of a storeyed lecture hall. Her rescuers, 11 in number, had convened to save her from fatally thudding against the ground.
The 11 learners sustained bruises and minor injuries after successfully holding the free-falling student.

The teenager is being held in lawful custody at Sengera Police Station.
