The 2016 Miss Lang’ata Women Prison’s beauty queen Ruth Kamande has been sentenced to death.
Kamande was found guilty of killing her boyfriend, Farid Mohammed, who she stabbed over twenty times following a domestic dispute.
According to submissions made in court, Kamande’s crime of passion was sparked by a revelation that her boyfriend had allegedly been taking HIV suppressing drugs without her knowledge.
She made headlines after she was crowned Miss Lang’ata Women Prison’s beauty contest in 2016.
Kamende has been in custody since 2015.
