Prosecution against Kamande's plea
In 2018, Ruth Kamande, Miss Langata Prison 2016 winner, had asked the court to release her after she pleaded for forgiveness for brutally murdering her boyfriend.
Kamande had been found guilty of stabbing Farid Mohammed 22 times.

Her plea had however been challenged by the prosecution who told High Court judge Jessie Lesiit to have it rejected.
The legal team explained that the Miss Langata pageant winner did not show remorse during her trail and thus should not be released.
