One Utumishi fire suspect freed as prosecution seeks case transfer

One of the nine suspects linked to the Utumishi fire incident has been set free after the prosecution submitted that there was insufficient evidence to support murder charges against her. The prosecution also applied to have the case moved to Nairobi, citing credible reports that the suspects were at risk of being attacked due to growing public hostility following the deaths of 16 girls in the Utumishi fire tragedy.
