Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Four students from Dr Krapf Boys Secondary School in Rabai Sub-County, Kilifi in Kenya are in police custody for burning a dormitory on Sunday evening The students are part of 14 questioned by police in connection with the incident.<\/p>\n

It is alleged that the students were protesting being denied permission to watching the match between English Premier league teams, Manchester United and Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The fire consumed the 160-capacity dormitory, reducing students\u2019 personal effects to ashes. Confirming the incident, Rabai Sub-County Police Commander Fredrick Abuga said the suspects will be taken to court tomorrow.<\/p>\n

He said the four students were directly involved in torching the dormitory. \u201cWe conducted our investigations, questioning 14 students, but currently are holding four students whom we believe are the main culprits behind burning the dormitory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Abuga said the students are going to be charged with arson. The Sub-County police commander said officers are seeking more learners said to be part of the group that planned the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are still looking for two students\u2026they escaped from school after the incident,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Abuga said the police are going to court to seek more days to hold the suspects for investigations. According to the school, the students are only allowed to watch television on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe school has its rules and regulations. They are only allowed to watch television on Saturday\u2026and here they were demanding to watch the football match which was to be on a Sunday,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The police boss said only form one students were not involved in the rampage. The school has been closed. Chairperson of the school\u2019s Board of Management (BoM), Dr John Jao, said the students will be back to school in the company of their parents.<\/p>\n

Form One and Four students will report to school next Tuesday, while Forms Two and Three will come on Wednesday. \u201cAll students must clear all term two school fees. We are going to conduct an evaluation of the cost of damage and inform parents of how much they will pay through SMS,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Jao said the students were released to allow the school to prepare how to resume their boarding. He noted that a majority now had no bedding and other essential items.<\/p>\n

He also appealed to students to volunteer information that will lead to the arrest of the culprits. The chairperson of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA), Mr Andrew Simba, said expressed his disappointment in the students for destroying school property.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad that parents are going to feel the pinch of the indiscipline of students,\u201d he said.-Daily Monitor<\/p>\n
