At least 13 pupils have been confirmed dead and 39 others seriously injured following a stampede at Kakamega Primary School.
Confirming the 5pm incident, Kakamega Central OCPD David Kabena said the pupils were leaving their classes heading home when the stampede occurred on a staircase.
It is reported that a teacher at the school was beating some pupils prompting the other learners to run down a staircase and in the process, some fell and were trampled to death.
The injured pupils have been taken to Kakamega County Referral Hospital.
