Michelle Cheptoo, the Sironga Girls student who jumped off a storey dormitory to her death, was buried yesterday in a sombre funeral attended by her school mates and teachers.
Tears flowed freely as the body was viewed, the girls unable to hold back as they remembered the good days they spent together for nearly four years.
Cheptoo is said to have been in high spirits the night before the tragic event in the morning of Saturday last week. She was rushed to hospital but she might have passed on at impact.
