A team of investigators has been deployed to Hillside Endarasha Primary, police say, after last night’s fire at the school.
As we’ve reported, the cause of the fire that killed 17 pupils is not yet known.
President William Ruto called the fire “horrific” and “devastating”, and has ordered an investigation.
“Those responsible will be held to account,” he wrote on social media.
Police spokesperson Resila Onyango told AFP news agency that bodies recovered were “burnt beyond recognition”.
“More bodies are likely to be recovered once (the) scene is fully processed,” she added.
