A sombre mood engulfed St. Charles Lwanga Ichuni Girls High School in Kisii after a teacher died in unclear circumstances.
Mr Abraham Rogito had been reported missing for few days before his body was discovered in his rented house in Keroka town.
Neighbours discovered the decomposing body after they noticed a foul smell emanating from his house.
Police broke into the house, which had been locked from inside, and found the body lying on the bed.
Numerous calls by his family members and colleagues triggered suspicion after he failed to respond.
Shock gripped the family and the institution on learning of the incident. Colleagues said Rogito was last seen on Sunday leaving the school but could not show up to work on Monday, raising concern. For the years he has worked at the school, workmates said he has been a peaceful person who interacted with everyone.
Police officers have commenced investigations into the incident, saying the cause of death will be determined after post-mortem is conducted.
