A court has sentenced a 24-year-old Kenyan jail beauty queen to death for murdering her boyfriend; she stabbed him 25 times.
Ruth Kamande, who won a prison beauty pageant while awaiting trial, slashed her partner Farid Mohammed, 24, to death.
The judge accused Kamande of “manipulative” behaviour that included accessing the victim’s mobile phone as well as showing no remorse for the attack which left “blood all over” the crime scene.
Kamande, a trained beautician, stabbed her boyfriend after she found love messages in his phone from his former high school lovers.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International wants Kenya to commute prison beauty queen Ruth Kamande’s sentence, arguing that no crime deserves a capital sentence.
Her sentencing has garnered mixed reactions from netizens with some feeling that she deserves the hangman’s noose for the nature of her crime, while others say she should be pardoned due to her good looks.
