On 19 July 2018, the Nairobi High Court sentenced Ruth Kamande to death after finding her guilty in the killing of her boyfriend, Farid Mohammed.
The case drew public attention because Kamande had been identified as the Miss Lang’ata Prison 2016 beauty pageant winner. The court’s decision followed the murder case that had placed her at the centre of a closely watched legal battle.
According to the archived source, the sentence was handed down in connection with Mohammed’s death, with the court concluding the matter at the High Court in Nairobi.
The ruling marked the end of a case that had linked a prison beauty pageant figure from 2016 to a murder conviction and a capital sentence.
