Arson Suspected in Deadly Kenya School Fire

The deadly fire at Moi Girls' School started from a "suicidal" girl's bed and spread to the others and since most of the girls were deep asleep, they could not help extinguish it or escape on time, according to one student. The fire left eight students dead and several others injured.
