1 Mins read

Social media platforms this morning woke up to sad news of a child who burnt himself to near death because he failed to score aggregate 4 in the released Primary Leaving Examinations.

In the audio that is spreading on social media like wildfire, a distressed woman who is a sister to the Dad of the burnt kid narrates the ordeal in a worrying tone.

“That is not social Media, that is my brother’s son. He is around 16 to 17 years. When the results came back and he realised he did not perform to his expectation, he went, wrapped himself in a blanket, poured petrol on himself and then went to the bathroom and put himself on fire,” narrates the kid’s auntie.

She further reveals that; “All the parents were at work and it’s the neighbours and the kids that realised there was a lot of smoke. The neighbour tried to save him but it was too late. He was rushed to several clinics but they referred them to Kirudu Hospital and that is where they ended.”

The auntie further said that the boy is in terrible condition with almost 95% of his body burnt.

Listen to the Auntie’s full ordeal in the two audio below.
