Hundreds of mourners gathered in Gilgil (a town in Kenya's central Nakuru County) to pay tribute to 16 girls killed in a fire at Utumishi Academy last month. The victims' coffins, adorned with white flowers and portraits, were honoured at a memorial attended by First Lady Rachel Ruto, who said there were "no easy answers" to the tragedy. Nine fellow students remain in police custody over the May 28 blaze, which investigators say was deliberately started by igniting a mattress at a dormitory exit using a matchstick and paraffin, though no motive has yet been established.
