A 12 year old Standard Three pupil was lastweek charged before Naivasha High Court judge Christine Meoli for killing his 11-year-old girlfriend identified as Mary Nduta in Magumu village in Kinangop, Kenya.
According to Standard Kenya, the boy from Kinangop allegedly stabbed the girl to death on July 5, 2016, claiming that dark forces ordered him to stab the girl three times as the two had s*x.
The boy was found guilty of murder by a High Court. He denied the charge and Justice Meoli directed that he be held at Engineer Police station in Kinangop until the 28th of July when the case will come up for mentioning.
However, the court ruled that the accused was experiencing a difficult childhood in a dysfunctional family and sent him to Kimumu junior probation hostels for three years.
In his defence the boy, who was represented by lawyer Francis Mburu, said dark forces directed him to stab the girl. The boy told the court that he was getting intimate with the girl when a tall man armed with a machete and a shiny knife appeared and ordered him to kill her. After stabbing the girl, the boy confessed to her sister.
