Education Principal Secretary (PS) Belio Kipsang has announced that the four suspects behind the Shiners Boys High School murder will sit their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE)in custody.
While overseeing the opening of an examination container in Nakuru, PS Kipsang noted that a multiagency team is investigating the incident.
He said the suspects will be allowed to do their exams as they await arraignment.
"We want the security teams to proceed from the point they have reached. The candidates will do the exam from wherever they are and thereafter we shall conclude the process but I leave it to the security and criminal system to deal with that and I am sure they will be taken to court," he said.
The four are suspected to be behind the murder of a candidate who was stabbed on Saturday night.

Confirming the incident, Gilgil sub-county police commander Winstone Mwakio said the suspects had been suspended from the institution but reported to sit exams, found their items destroyed, and suspected the victim could be responsible for the acts.
The police chief wondered how the killer knife was sneaked into school even as he expressed concerns over indiscipline in the said school.
Dak, a Sudanese national and the prime suspect, had fled after committing the incident and was apprehended on Sunday. Police say he had traveled overnight to Nairobi.
Police report that Dak's accomplices, also in custody, are expected to testify in the case, which has now been handed over to the DCI for further investigation.
