Ms Ruth Wanjiku Kamande, 21, at the time of the incident, stabbed her 24 year old boyfriend, Farid Mohammed Halim, twenty two times to death in 2015. Farid Mohammed succumbed to multiple stab wounds on his back, stomach, chest and neck while undergoing treatment.



High Court judge Justice Jessie Lessit, while sentencing her to death, said Kamande deliberately stabbed Farid Mohammed 22 times:
“young people should know it is not cool to kill your boyfriend or girlfriend, instead it is cool to walk away from such a relationship when it breaks down.” Stated the judge in her ruling


The Court of Appeal on Friday upheld the death sentence against Ruth Kamande, who was accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend using a kitchen knife in Buruburu, Nairobi.

 




Kamande while behind bars in 2016 , was crowned Miss Langata Women’s Prison beauty queen and later appealed the sentence which had been confirmed by the Court of Appeal.



The judge sentenced Ms Kamande to death despite the penalty having been lifted by a superior court stating that her court was free to exercise judicial discretion.
“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.
