Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) say they have positively identified the faces of students who started the fire that killed 16 students and left 79 nursing serious injuries last week at Utumishi Girls Senior School.

As investigations into the deadly inferno entered the fourth day, detectives on Sunday revealed that seven students had lit the fire before they escaped the scene. While six of the seven students are in custody, one of them had been released to her parents but is now being sought.
