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.

According to Bishop George Okal, some church members claimed the girl was possessed by demons and they wanted to help her heal.
The members had been invited by Beatrice Akinyi, the girl’s neighbor
and a church member, to pray for her. “Beatrice, a member in my church,
requested other members to go to the girl’s house for prayers but upon
arriving, they said they wanted paraffin and a candle,” Bishop Okal
explained.
