Police charge 14 year old girl for starting fire that killed 9 pupils

A 14 - year -old Kenyan girl was charged on Wednesday with multiple counts of murder for allegedly starting a fire at a Nairobi school dormitory that left nine other schoolgirls dead .
According to a source inside the court, where proceedings were held in camera due to the age of the accused , the girl denied starting the fire on September 2 at the Moi Girls High School.
A source close to the investigation , speaking on condition of anonymity , said they had discovered a WhatsApp messaging group on the suspect ’s phone , in which she had mentioned her plans to burn down the school to four other friends .
“I will burn the school ,” read one of the messages .
The girl appeared to be angry that her parents had sent her to Moi Girls , instead of her preferred high school .
The bodies of the girls who died in the blaze were burnt beyond recognition and were only identified through DNA analysis which was completed on Tuesday .
