Kenya's Director of Public
Prosecutions has approved 16 counts of murder against nine students linked to
the arson fire on May 28 at the Naivasha school.
CCTV footage showed girls igniting mattresses in a dorm with over 200 students, leading to quick arrests after investigations by homicide detectives.
The minors, now remanded, face court soon amid concerns over rising school arsons, with the ODPP vowing fair prosecution while extending sympathies to victims' families.
