Minor Escapes Death Narrowly after Botched Abortion Attempt
A 16-year-old juvenile is currently admitted at a Kitui hospital, following a botched abortion attempt over the weekend.
The class eight pupil who is lucky to be alive delivered a 5-month lifeless male foetus, after being rushed to Mumoni health centre in Kitui county.
According to the victim’s mother, her daughter had complained of severe abdominal pains, prompting her to rush the minor to hospital.
After interrogation, the girl revealed that her school head teacher who was responsible for the pregnancy, had taken her to a private clinic in Ishiara, last Saturday, February 19, where she was given some tablets and asked to swallow.
What followed were severe abdominal pains that led to her hospitalization. Detectives have since launched a manhunt for the head teacher who has gone missing and the owner of the private clinic who conducted the botched abortion.
