This is a second incident after a 9-year-old boy hanged himself after losing a gamble. It is alleged that the late Kadenge hanged himself after he lost a fight with his 15-year-old uncle over a gambling card game. The uncle is alleged to have denied the deceased Sh100 which he had won in a gamble three days earlier. The boy was gambling using cashewnuts, in a game that whoever won would take all the cashewnuts the other boys had. The boy who won all the gambles lost in the last round to other players which meant that his cashewnuts were to be taken away.
