What you need to know:

  • He threatened the few people who rushed to the scene hoping to rescue her, and made sure she was dead before attempting to run away.
  • Moi University Vice Chancellor Isaac Kosgey urged students to remain calm as the university works with security personnel to find out the motive of the attack.

Ms Ivy Wangechi, the medical student whose promising life was brutally ended on Tuesday, was killed by a man described by her friends as a former schoolmate who was obsessed with her.

The sixth-year medical student at Moi University School of Medicine started the day in high spirits as usual, speaking freely and sharing jokes with some of her patients as she did her routine rounds at Nyayo General Ward at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, where she was doing her final set of practical exams before her graduation later this year.
