A woman has been found guilty of killing her lover back in
2020 in Nanyuki County.
Appearing before Nanyuki High Court Judge Justice A.K. Ndung’u
on Wednesday, Faith Kanoria Mwebia was convicted of the murder of
her boyfriend Daniel Mwaniki Miano.
The court heard that Mwebia physically attacked the deceased
following a domestic feud, threatened to kill him, before fatally stabbing him
on the abdomen.
“Evidence presented in court established that the offence
occurred on the night of 5th July 2020 in the Likii area of Laikipia County,
where the couple engaged in a violent confrontation following an earlier
dispute,” stated ODPP.
“During the quarrel, Mwebia physically attacked the deceased
and threatened to kill him. Hours later, Miano was found lying by the roadside
with a fatal stab wound to the abdomen.”
Justice Ndung’u said the prosecution proved its case beyond
reasonable doubt by presenting 10 witnesses whose testimony detailed the chain
of events leading to the fatal incident.
