What you need to know:

  • The university cannot be made accountable for the moral life of a student especially if it happens outside the institution.

In 2012, Duncan Livingstone Kimanthi, a fourth year student at the United States International University (USIU) was arraigned in court suspected of being behind a kidnap-for-ransom ring.

On July 10, 2012 he was charged alongside Winnie Wairimu Kariuki a student at Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology with the murder of a fellow student.
