The St. Kizito massacre was a high-profile rape and massacre of girls on 13 July 1991 at the coeducational boarding secondary school St. Kizito in Meru County, Kenya, named after Saint Kizito. 71 girls were raped and 19 killed by their male classmates. The school closed as a result.

Initial reports included a statement from the deputy principal, Joyce Kithira, who said, "The boys never meant any harm against the girls. They just wanted to rape." Kithira was dismissed from her position for her "failure to maintain discipline" at the school but was almost immediately reinstated. School principal James Laiboni commented that rape was a common occurrence at the school. The view was echoed by Francis Machira Apollos, a local probation officer.

Väldigt bisarr och makaber händelse. Det är svårt att få fram någon ordentlig bakgrundsinformation kring orsakerna till massakern. Mycket motsägelsefull information om vad som hände. Skolmassakrer som leder till ett stort antal döda där många förövare var inblandade och där skjutvapen inte användes är inte så vanligt förekommande.

Citat:
Outwardly, St. Kizito's co-ed boarding school, set in the coffee-growing country of central Kenya, was much like any other in this African nation: overcrowded, poorly managed, staffed with underpaid teachers yet apparently calm.
But one night this month 71 teen-age schoolgirls were raped by male students and 19 others died in a night of dormitory violence that reportedly began with a protest over fees and then ran on unchecked by the local police or teachers.
Now 39 of the 306 boys who studied at the school are being held without charges in prison here. And the rampage 10 days ago has caused a furor among politicians, educators and others in Kenya, which prides itself on providing better education than most African nations.
