The accused children are consulting their lawyers and parents on possible plea agreements as the court allows negotiations with the prosecution to proceed.

Some of the children charged in connection with the murder of 16 students at Utumishi Academy have expressed interest in plea bargaining, with the Kibera Law Courts allowing negotiations with the prosecution to proceed.

During a mention on Monday, October 26, 2026, the court heard that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) had received a formal plea bargain request involving one of the accused children, identified as Subject 3.

State Counsel told the court that preliminary discussions had already taken place, but further consultations with the child were necessary before negotiations could proceed.
