A 16-year-old juvenile is currently admitted at a Kitui hospital, following a botched abortion attempt over the weekend.
According to a report by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ,the class eight pupil delivered a 5-month lifeless male foetus at Mumoni health centre in Kitui county.
“According to the victim’s mother, her daughter had complained of severe abdominal pains, prompting her to rush the minor to hospital.” DCI said
After interrogation, the girl revealed that her school headteacher who was responsible for the pregnancy, had taken her to a private clinic in Ishiara, last Saturday, February 19, where she was given some tablets and asked to swallow.
What followed were severe abdominal pains that led to her hospitalization.
Detectives have since launched a manhunt for the head teacher who has gone missing and the owner of the private clinic who conducted the botched abortion.
