Police are interrogating three suspects who allegedly burnt a minor in Ponda Mali estate on the outskirts of Nakuru town, claiming they were exorcising demons from her.

The suspects were reportedly in a group of seven, all of whom are members of The Holy Spirit of Israel Church during the last Friday night incident. County Police Commander Hassan Barua said four other suspects associated with the burning of the 13-year-old girl are still at large.

Mr. Barua said police officers are following leads to arrest the suspects, who are well known to the victim.

“Officers are following some leads to arrest the suspects, who have since gone into hiding. This is a criminal incident that cannot be accepted,” he said.
