Grade Three Pupil Mauled by Hyenas to Death.

A pupil of nine years old was killed by a pack of hyenas in Nyacaba village, Juja, Kiambu County, causing villagers to worry.

On Thursday evening, a third-grade male pupil in the hamlet was reported missing at a private school.

On Saturday, his clothes were discovered abandoned in a nearby thicket.

According to Gideon Nderitu, a resident, the youngster identified as Njoroge Mariga vanished from her home on Thursday night while her doctor’s mother was at work.

According to reports, his clothing was discovered by quarry workers who reported for work early in the morning.

Residents headed by Mary Muthoni and Martin Mwaura; a bishop said that the incident has rendered them unable to stroll at night due to fear.

In their statements, they claimed that three other hyenas had been observed roaming the village, presumably on another mission to attack them.

Concerned that Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) staff have been doing less to contain the problem despite repeated requests to have the animals removed from the community, the villagers demanded quick involvement to avert a worsening disaster.

“It is terribly tragic that wild animals killed an innocent child, but we have a government and officers tasked with ensuring that the dangerous creatures remain in the forest. We cannot handle what we have witnessed today, said Muthoni.

Bishop Mwaura stated, "We are exhausted; we do not wish to experience these cases any longer.”

The event occurred many months after eight hyenas similarly attacked a 35-year-old man from the neighboring town of Athi.

Last year, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) warned Juja and Thika communities about the marauding animals responsible for fatal attacks on residents.
