At least five students and a security guard have been shot dead in an attack on a secondary school in Kenya.
The attack was led by a student who had been suspended, the head teacher said. The boy is accused of returning to the dormitories with two accomplices.
As well as killing six people, witnesses say the attackers raped two girls and injured 18 students.
Local media say the main suspect was later lynched when people stormed the police station where he was being held.
According to the head teacher, the suspect had fought with another pupil, leading to his suspension.
He then returned to AIC Lokichogio Secondary School in northern Kenya to search for the pupil, who was not there at the time.
A local official told Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper that the suspect "was heard telling fellow students that he is going to burn the school or he will come back and avenge because of the suspension".

God save us. We need to constantly intercede for your children. What kind of training did he get before he pulled a gun on his colleagues just for suspension. God save us
If the story of the attack, which I will assume, it is terrible. But even though it is a very bad sign for the Kenyan Justice System, that this person did not get the court trial deserved. It is never for individuals to judge a person in a constitutional democracy to judge but always to a court, no matter how horrible the crime. I hope the murderers of the murderer will be brought to court.
If Satan was not controlling such an individual how should mere suspension lead him to kill six students which has resulted to him also being lynched. It's sad that something innocuous should lead to seven students dead and eighteen injured. Had the school authority knew this would be the repercussion if the suspension, they would probably had rescinded that decision. No matter what had happened evil will not trump what is good. May their souls rest in perfect peace. Pathetic!
