Police in Mwanza Region have arrested two Hill Crest Secondary School students allegedly for stabbing their teacher, one Gerald Amos (47).
Mwanza Regional Police Commander (RPC) Zelothe Stephen said the unpleasant incident occurred a week ago after the two students were prohibited to attend classes after they were caught smoking bhang.
The accused, who are now under police custody, are Robert Damas (17) and Frank felix (17).
Both are Form Three students at the school.
”After the prohibition, the students continued to go to school, mainly with an intention of causing chaos.
When they attended school for the last time, they stabbed one of their teachers, who was on his normal duties,” Stephen said.
The school reported the duo to the police after which the police mounted a manhunt and managed to arrest them.
One of the accused students was arrested in possession of bhang.
The RPC said the injured teacher was recovering at Bugando Referral Hospital, where he is admitted.
In another incident, a couple was arrested by police for illegally possessing a pistol model Browming with registration number 064001.
According to Stephen, the accused were arrested recently at Mashili Mabatini area in the City.
The couple was arrested after the police got a tip off from a Good Samaritan.
