A Kenyan court has formally charged eight school girls with murder for the deaths of 16 of their fellow learners.
This after a dormitory fire broke out at Utumishi Girls’ Academy Senior School in Kenya’s Rift Valley in late May.
The eight defendants appeared on Wednesday before Nairobi’s Kibera High Court and all pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The blaze renewed scrutiny of safety in Kenyan boarding schools and recurring student unrest in the education system.
