A 15-year-old Lecheng student has killed his 17-year-old schoolmate who frequently called him by his unwanted home nickname to ridicule him. A nickname is a substitute for the proper name of a familiar person, place, or thing, for affection or ridicule.

The Monitor has gathered that the incident happened outside the Design and Technology class where a dispute is said to have erupted following several warnings from the nickname bearer who repeatedly showed his distastes over the said nickname.

Palapye police station commander, Waboraro Ramaja confirmed the murder incident to this publication further saying they are still investigating the case. “We have a murder case in which a 17-year-old boy has been stabbed by a 15-year-old boy on his head to death using a scissor,” Ramaja said.
