Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has said that deadly inferno at the Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru county could have been caused by possible negligence by the administration.

This comes even as it emerged in Friday evening that interrogations of the eight students who were arrested by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) told them that they had informed two teachers of the plot to torch one of the dormitories at the school.

“Preliminary investigations have identified eight students as persons of interest in connection with the planning and execution of the suspected arson attack. The eight have been arrested and are in police custody,” said Murkomen
