A fire in a school in Kenya kills 17 students and seriously burns 13 others

The flames engulfed a boys' dormitory at the school around midnight on Thursday as more than 150 pupils aged between nine and 13 were sleeping.

Journalists were moved to wait outside the Hillside Endarasha Primary School compound as a team that included the government pathologist and morticians from the Nyeri provincial hospital set up tables outside the dormitory Saturday.

A horror fire in a private Kenyan boarding school has killed at least 21 children aged 10 to 14.

Officials have begun removing the bodies of children who burned to death in a school dormitory in central Kenya on Sunday as they try to account for dozens of boys who are still missing.
