According to reports, four students disagreed about personal goods damaged at school, which sparked the disturbance at around 8:00 p.m.
Earlier, police said they were pursuing the four students who fled into thickets following the evening incident.
According to Gilgil sub-county police commander Winstone Mwakio, the four accused had received suspension letters from the school for disciplinary violations.
“The four had been suspended for indiscipline cases,” stated Mwakio noting that the indiscipline in the school was wanting.
When the four returned to sit for their KCSE examinations, they discovered that their personal possessions had been destroyed.
They assumed the deceased was responsible for the destruction and attacked the victim, injuring him with knife wounds.

The police who arrived at the scene confirmed that the primary suspect left with the knife and were tracking him down, along with his three accomplices, to bring him to justice.
During a press briefing, the police chief expressed concern over how the murder knife got into the school compound.
“We can’t tell how they acquired the knife but the students there are notorious,” the police boss stated.
The deceased’s body has been taken to the Nakuru morgue for an autopsy examination.
