friend at Makutano village, Mautuma location, Lugari sub county.
Confirming the incident Mautuma location chief Pamela Davava Kulali
said the suspect who is a standard five pupil at St. Louis primary
school started a quarrel with his friend after calling each other
obscene names.
The two boys later engaged in a fight before the suspect hit his
friend with a stone on the head and he fell on the
ground, unconscious.

unfortunately pronounced dead upon arrival at the Mulimani sub county
hospital.
Mrs. Kulali said police have launched an investigation into the incident
and the main suspect and another friend who witnessed the incident have been arrested.
