Eyewitnesses revealed on Wednesday night that the enraged madman found his way into the school premises after the students had allegedly mocked him.

One of the eyewitnesses, who does not want his name published said that the students ran helter-skelter as the suspect forced his way into the classes where they writing their examination.

He added that Meretighan who could not run fast was caught by the suspect who placed his head under his shoulder before strangling him to death.
