Investigations are ongoing to establish the real cause of the dorm fire that killed nine students at Moi Girls high school in Nairobi with the prime suspect being held by police officers.

A mother of one of the girls who died in the dormitory fire has sent a forgiveness message to the prime suspect who allegedly started the fire.

"If indeed you are the one who did this to my daughter and other girls, I forgive you," the mother said.

These were the moving words of Cynthia Mose, the mother of Esther Neema, one of the nine girls who perished in the Moi fire on September 2.

"We were told by her friends that she came out before the fire engulfed the dorm, but when she realised her best friend was missing, she went back to check on her. That's how we lost her." The father revealed.

According to Neema’s parents, they have forgiven the main suspect if indeed she was the one who started the fire.

"I know you have a problem. May you find the help you desperately need," said Jason Mose, Esther's father, adding:
