A middle-aged woman charged in 2015 with stabbing and killing her boyfriend in Bururburu estate has been found guilty of murder.
On Thursday, High Court Judge Jessie Lessit found Ruth Kamande guilty of killing her boyfriend Farid Mohamed.
Justice Lessit in her ruling said Kamande who stabbed her boyfriend 22 times acted in malice and that her actions in court proved the same.
Lessit said that the prosecution had proven beyond all reasonable doubt that Kamande committed the offense.
"The prosecution has laid it clear that the accused person committed the offense and the stabs that killed the deceased (Farid Mohamed) were not done at a go,” the Judge ruled.
Justice Lessit dismissed the accused person’s rape allegations terming them false.
She said that a doctor’s report presented in court ruled out rape.
Kamande had defended herself against the murder accusation, saying that she had discovered her boyfriend was undergoing HIV treatment and that he tried to kill her when she confronted him.
The Langata women's prison beauty queen who has been in remand since 2015 will be sentenced on July 11, 2018.
