The Principal told her to rush to Naidu Hospital in Thika, directing her further to go to the hospital alone.

“On arriving at the hospital at about 9:35 am, I found my daughter’s lifeless body with a swollen tummy. She also had foam in her nostrils.

The hospital note further indicated that they received a dead body.

But the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinot yesterdays eemed to suggest that he had finally cracked the case.

Kinoti said Gatanga CCM Girls High School managers lied in their statements on what led to Ebbie’s death.

According to Kinoti, statements issued by witnesses contradicted what the administrators’ alluded as version of events.

But the DCI was not immediatly clear on what action it had taken against the suspect, while a section of Kenyans accused it of being reactionary.

Mr Kinoti said the director of the homicide division took over the case on January 10.

Evidence by the DCI however show that Ebbie was assaulted by a senior staff member of the CCM Girls High School.

Kinoti said the staff member accused Ebbie Noelle Samuels of styling her hair, which was against school rules.

He said she was assaulted during evening classes or preps, minutes before the 9pm bell rang.
