A student will be detained for seven days pending investigations into the Moi Girls School, Nairobi fire incident that left nine learners dead.
The student appeared in the Milimani juvenile court Wednesday over suspicions of starting the fire.
On Tuesday, police had indicated that four studentsfrom the school will be charged.
Police sources privy to the investigations into the incident, which has been termed an arson attack by acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, said detectives had zeroed in on the four for prosecution.
The suspects, according to the source, had been taken to the scene of the fire as police pieced together information in a bid to reconstruct the events of the fateful Sunday morning.
“We started by grilling more than 15 of them, then nine, then five, and now we have four,” the source said.
