Police have started an investigation into the student’s death. They are looking into the alleged attack and its possible connection to the student’s death.
The police have sealed off the hostel room, and a postmortem examination will be done to find out how the student died. A police spokesperson said, “We are taking this case very seriously. We will investigate every detail.”
The incident has upset many students, who are using social media to demand justice.
Protests began on campus Friday afternoon, with students criticizing the college for not protecting them and calling for the security officers involved to be suspended.
“We cannot feel safe when those who are supposed to protect us are the ones causing harm,” said a student leader who wished to remain anonymous.
Kenya Utalii College is known for training in hospitality and tourism, but it has faced criticism before for how it takes care of student welfare.
This incident may increase calls for changes in campus security and how the administration operates.
