DNA tests for students who lost their lives during the Moi Girls' High School Inferno will bee conducted within two weeks.
Head of Chiromo Mortuary Dr Peter Gichangi says DNA samples will be collected Tuesday morning.
“We will start at 8am…parents who may have unfortunately lost a child during that fire then should be here to provide those samples,” he said.
He said that there are 8 bodies in the mortuary that will be identified after the post-mortem exercise.
According to education CS Fred Matiangi, the incident was an arson attack.
On Monday, the death toll rose to nine after one of the students who had been admitted at Nairobi Women's Hospital succumbed to her injuries.
One more student is still admitted in the hospital.
