According to Tuko.co.ke, Samuel Muigai, a Murichu Secondary School student, was arrested after he beat up his teacher, identified as James Gikonyo who had wanted to reprimand him for jumping queue when the students were being served lunch. On Tuesday, February 16, when the student appeared before the court, he pleaded with Nyahururu Senior Resident Magistrate James Wanyanga to pardon, with a promise to work on his anger. He further expressed remorse at the incident and said he would look for the teacher and apologise to him for disrespecting him, especially in public. Magistrate James Wanyanga handed Samuel Muigai an 18-month non-custodial sentence for the two offenses which he committed in January.
