DNA identification begins for Utumishi fire victims as families await clarity

The DNA sampling exercise to help identify the bodies of the 16 students who perished in the Utumishi Girls Academy fire in Gilgil, Nakuru County, began today, albeit after a long wait by parents who had turned up as early as Friday morning. Parents who had gathered at the Naivasha Sub-County Referral Hospital Mortuary were later instructed to travel back to the school, as they lamented being moved in circles without clear communication.
