Twelve Form 4 candidates at Anestar Boys High School – Bahati will do their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education exams in police custody after engaging in unruly behaviour on Wednesday night.

According to Anester Group of Schools Director, Mr Victor Njenga Gatimu, the students were nabbed by police after they broke into a girls’ dormitory in the nearby Anestar Girls School -Victory.

“The 12 are now in police custody and will be arriving here early to sit for their remaining papers here and later return to Githioro Police Station cells for the night. The case is now beyond us,” he stated.

He stated that the police might charge the students with attempted rape once the examinations are through.

Mr Gatimu added that 70 others are under investigation and will be allowed to sit the exam from the school after they missed out on an impromptu roll call on the night of the incident.
