The black mamba
The black mamba is a snake, considered one of the most poisonous and dangerous reptiles in the world. The body of the black mamba is rather thin and muscular, characteristics that guarantee a certain agility to an animal able to move at the sustained speed of about 20 km / h. It is in fact also considered the fastest snake in the world.

Many perplexities about what happened
The tragedy occurred in a courtroom in the Rushinga High School. The school is located far from areas potentially inhabited by this snake. The Rushingalegislator, Tendai Nyabani, said he was still shocked by the incident and puzzled about how a highly venomous snake managed to penetrate the courtroom. The suspicion is that the snake from the mountains went further and crossed a highway after feeling attacked. And it is suspected that black mamba himself quietly entered the classroom while the class was outside to do sports.
