At least seven individuals have died in separate fire incidents in Isiolo, including five family members in a suspected arson attack linked to a love triangle. Police are investigating.

• Five family members, including a 45-year-old mother and her three children, died in the Bulapesa fire.
• Isiolo Police are probing the arson and the following mob killing of a suspected perpetrator.
• Additionally, two children aged four and eight died in a fire in Mathira, Nyeri County, with another incident causing significant loss in Nairobi County.

A dramatic twist has emerged in the case of Rex Masai, who was fatally shot during anti-finance bill protests in Nairobi, as the accused officer, Isaiah Murangiri Ndumi, claims he was not present during the protests.

• Evidence including CCTV footage allegedly positions the officer at the crime scene, which he disputes.
• Witness, Paul Njehia, confirmed that DNA samples collected from the scene matched Rex Masai's blood.
• The officer denied holding a gun or being the individual portrayed in images presented in court.
