Seven suspects linked to the Utumishi Academy fire that left 16 students dead will be arraigned on Tuesday.In their statements, the girls reportedly told detectives they were protesting changes to the examination calendar, the school’s decision to charge them for a cultural event, and alleged peer influence after a neighbouring boys’ school went on strike.
Investigations have also revealed that the plan to torch the dormitory was conceived at 9 p.m. and executed three hours later, as captured by CCTV cameras.
