A sombre mood has engulfed a family of five at Kadika village after a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education candidate at Migori Complex Secondary School died last night after a short illness.

Francis Ogama said his son was in the school when he developed malaria and typhoid and was allowed to go home to seek medical attention.

Basil Omondi Ogama,18, was rushed to Oruba Nursing Home and was diagnosed of a cute malaria and typhoid and got admitted in the hospital last week for three days before being discharged.

He added that a few days later, his condition got worse and he was again rushed to St. Joseph Hospital Ombo on Friday evening last week and was found to be having the same symptoms.

The deceased was admitted immediately but died last evening while undergoing treatment at the same hospital.

The mother of the deceased Grace Akinyi Ogama said that the student condition got worse when he wanted to go back to school for the rehearsal for his examinations on Friday morning.

She described her son as an active person who took part in many co-curriculum activities in the school as he was a member of the school drama club, music and handball team.
