A 16-year-old minor is in custody for murder, after she killed another minor, following a disagreement over a 2GB memory card.
In a shocking incident that has left villagers grieving in Mulot, Bomet county, the juvenile stabbed her age mate on the left side of her chest killing her instantly.
Efforts to rush the deceased to hospital proved futile after doctors at Longisa district hospital confirmed her dead on arrival.
The incident occurred outside Sweet Wines and Spirits, next to West Inn bar in the sleepy Mulot Sunset trading centre.
It has not been established exactly whether the adolescent girls were school going children and what business they were conducting in prohibited areas.
The suspect has since been arrested and is currently in custody at Mulot police station, being processed for arraignment.
Meanwhile, detectives have widened the scope of their investigations in this matter to establish whether adults had accompanied the young girls to the liquor shops, whether prior to their argument they were intoxicated and who was responsible.
In the recent past, Mulot town has gained notoriety as a haven for mobile money fraudsters, with a majority of suspects engaged in the fast spreading vice having been arrested in the area.
Below are some comments from Kenyans:
“These are below 18 years kids. Parents should be vigilant about their children. How can you allow your child to have a phone and whatsoever. Children rooming in the town should be kidnapped and taken to school. The parents also for these children should be arrested too.”
“God bless DCI Kenya, it’s the only force working on the clock to fight crime, I wonder whether courts in Kenya are of any importance, they have portrayed very bad image living murderers walking Scot free in the name of cash bail that encourages criminality to thrive in the society. Everyone taken to court, you are guilty until proven innocent,police can not pick anybody on the street and take him to court, capital offense they should scrap cash bail ASAP.”
“Perhaps they should change the town’s name.
Mulot rhymes with harlot..
Some female creatures who tormented prophets in the bible..
Meanwhile we are withholding our condolences till dci determine if they intoxicated or they were amateur flesh merchants.”
“CAPTURED STATE TERROR INSTRUMENTS LIKE DCI, DPP, EACC AND NCIC ARE BEING USED TO FIGHT POLITICAL WARS. THOSE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WERE ARRESTED BECAUSE OF POLITICS. THE REALLY THIEVES ARE ROOMING OUTSIDE POLITICKING LIKE KEMSA RELATHIEVES AND POLITICALLY CORRECT CORRUPTION CARTELS E.G RUARAKA LAND THIEF, NYS, TRITON, MAU MAU LAND, YATA FARM, ETC. A THIEF SHOULD JUST REMAIN A THIEF WHETHER ON WHICH SIDE POLITICALLY, SOCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY. JUSTICE SHOULD NOT ONLY BE DONE BUT SHOULD ALSO BE SEEN TO BE DONE ALL ROUND. NATURAL JUSTICE”
