Ooh my. So so sad. Poleni sana.

Nasikia that a form 1 girl who was unhappy coz of being taken back to boarding school poured hand sanitizer on her bed and lit the match. Sad. Hope its not true.

I understand yes. The girl had underestimated the consequences of her actions coz she thought she was only targeting her bed. My version is corroborated by the Daily Nation one....

One emerging theory from our interviews with learners is that there was a wayward student residing at the lower floor who had previously been spotted with a matchbox.

It is suspected the student torched her mattress and caused the inferno.

Five girls suspected to have started the Saturday fire that led to the death of nine students at Moi Girls School in Nairobi have been interrogated by police.

Other police sources said four of the suspected students who have since been questioned are in Form One while the other one is a Form Three student.

The main culprit, according to the confidential police source, is a Form One student who had on two occasions attempted suicide by drinking a detergent, and by stuffing herself with a pillow.

“The students who have been interrogated have said that this particular student had a matchbox and had at some point indicated that she would make her parents believe her when she tells them that the school was not safe,” the detective said, adding that there were plans to subject the girl to a mental check-up.
