The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by former Miss Lang’ata Women’s Prison, Ruth Kamande, effectively upholding her life sentence for the 2015 murder of her boyfriend, Farid Mohammed Halim.
Kamande was convicted of fatally stabbing Halim 25 times.
In her appeal, she sought to introduce the concept of battered woman syndrome as a defence, arguing that her case raised issues of general public importance.
