Kenyan School Fire Leads to Arrest of Eight Students Amid Safety Concerns
In Kenya, eight female students have been arrested on suspicion of arson following a devastating fire at a boarding school dormitory that killed 16 children and injured at least 79 others. The fire at Utumishi Girls Academy, located about 75 miles from Nairobi, has raised serious safety concerns, as an exit door was found locked during the emergency. The school, managed by the police, is under scrutiny for safety violations, and its board of management has been dissolved. Parents are demanding answers as they await DNA tests to identify their children, while the investigation continues with extensive interviews and forensic reviews.
