A 17-year-old Form One student in Nairobi is facing murder charges after allegedly stabbing her 22-year-old boyfriend.
The student was yesterday arraigned before Justice Roseline Korir and charged with killing her boyfriend at Kiamumbi Estate, Kasarani, over what the prosecution said was a misunderstanding over a phone call.
According to the police charge sheet, the student allegedly committed the offence on August 22 after they quarreled over a phone call that the girl had received a few days before the killing.
Although the girl claimed that the phone call was from her mother, the boyfriend did not believe her leading to the dispute that ended tragically.
“They had a domestic dispute over the call. She then grabbed a knife and stabbed him, killing him,” the court was informed.
