Wednesday, September 11, 2024 – As investigations into the deadly fire tragedy at Endarasha Academy that claimed the lives of 21 students intensify, a multi-agency team comprising DCI detectives, the Kenya Power Company, and the Ministries of Education and Public Works spent a considerable time in the school compound where they also interrogated the school's owner Mr. David Kinyua for at least six hours on what transpired.
During the probe, the school
director took the officers around the school's premises and showed them the power
installations situated in different sections of the institution.
The DCI officers, led by Homicide Director Martin Nyoguto, questioned the school owner about the events that led to the Thursday night tragedy.
He reportedly founded the school 15
years ago.
Of great interest to the
multi-agency team was the final moments that led to the fire with
investigations narrowed to the possibility of an electric fault, according to
sources privy to the information.
Reports further revealed that
the detectives also questioned the technician who set up the electric circuit
at the school.
Meanwhile, the DCI officers have
also lined up several people for questioning about the fire incident at the
school.
Among the people tipped for
interrogation include the school headteacher, the matron, the teacher on duty, and other key witnesses including the survivors of the tragedy.
