World's oldest school pupil, 90, dies in Kenya...


Kenya's oldest pupil, Kimani Nganga Maruge, has died in Nairobi aged 90.

The great-grandfather held the Guinness World Record for being the oldest person to start primary school, at the age of 84. 

His house in the Rift Valley was burnt down in post-election violence last year and he was later moved from a camp to an old people's home in the capital. 

Despite the disruption, Mr Maruge kept hard at his studies and had two years left to finish his primary education. More...
