“In my view, the discretion to pass a sentence other than death in capital offences should only be exercised in deserving cases. I do not find this a deserving case and I think passing any other sentence than the one prescribed would turn the accused into a hero,” said the judge
According to her lawyer, the accused had “established a close relationship with God” since her arrest in 2015, she also had converted to Islam and had since become religious and prays five times a day. The accused had enrolled to study theology education at the prison, an indication that her stay in custody had streamlined her.
Kamande had argued that things escalated after she discovered a hospital card which suggested that Mohammed was undergoing HIV treatment. When she confronted her boyfriend about it, she claimed, he threatened her saying they would both rather die than have his HIV status known to the public. The argument, according to the beauty pageant, got out of hand, when she discovered letters from two other women.
