“The deceased was found dead lying on her chest down in the ceiling of the dormitory but the cause of death is still under investigation right now,” said Owoyesigyire.
Preliminary police findings indicate that on March 22, the deceased, who had health complications, went to the school headteacher, Rogers Kimbugwe, and asked for permission to go home and pick money for medicine, which was reportedly granted.
However, fellow students said that she remained at school and was last seen around midday on March 22. The school management informed police detectives that they had reached out to her parents after failing to receive confirmation from home that she had arrived there.
