The mystery surrounding the cause of the deadly fire that killed 21 pupils at Hillside Endarasha Academy in Nyeri County has deepened after the Kenya Power distanced itself from any responsibility, saying investigations showed there were no electrical faults.

Kenya Power's Nyeri County Manager, Mr Duncan Machuka, told journalists Tuesday evening that initial findings informed by a preliminary analysis showed there was no link between the fire and the school's electrical system.
