The Late Shukran Masha was a 17-year-old girl in her seventh month of pregnancy. She had asked her parents to allow her to have the baby before resuming school.
On Tuesday, her mother decided to take her to Bamba Police Station for advice on the matter.
My wife wanted the police to give her a note to allow her to stay home until she gives birth. But at around midnight, I was called by my other daughter telling me that my last born had committed suicide. I was shaken, I still don’t understand why or what happened. I am yet to see her body.Masha Kazungu, the father.
Mr Kazungu remains confident that the post-mortem will reveal the true happenings at Bamba Police Station after allegations of sexual assault went rife.
The late Shukran Masha managed 220 marks in her 2019 KCPE exam and was to join Kajembe High School in Mikindani.
He said he was told that his daughter used her hijab to hang herself.
Mr Kazungu said his daughter was impregnated by a 19-year-old secondary school student who had been arrested.
An area resident, Philister Sauti, confirmed that the deceased girl’s parents had come to an agreement to ensure she resumes her studies after giving birth.
That is why her father did the shopping but on Monday she urged her parents to allow her go live with the ‘husband’ as she awaits to give birth. But her father refused and told her she was underage and they would be arrested for marrying her offSauti said
On reaching Bamba, the girl told her mother they should get a note from the police to ensure they are not arrested during the 100 per cent transition crackdown. But instead, the officer on duty arrested the girlSauti added

Ms Sauti said those who went to see the body found it hanging from a window in the police cells.
