Kilifi family seeks justice after 14-year-old dies after alleged antibiotic injection

The deceased, a Grade Eight pupil at Twinkle Stars Junior Secondary School, reportedly developed complications while travelling home from the hospital.

According to relatives, the teenager began frothing at the nose while en route to Mariakani and was pronounced dead shortly after.

Family members say the girl, identified as Muthoni, had sought medical attention for a persistent cough when a medic allegedly administered an antibiotic injection.

Her condition reportedly worsened soon after leaving the hospital.

A post-mortem examination conducted on October 8, 2025, at the Kilifi County Referral Hospital did not establish the exact cause of death, prompting further investigations.

Samples, including foam collected from the victim’s body, have been forwarded to the government chemist for comprehensive forensic analysis.
