Ruth Kamande, who was declared Lang’ata Women’s Prison beauty queen in 2016 has lost an appeal challenging her death sentence. The 26-year-old will regret her entire life a single calamitous act of killing her then-boyfriend Farid Mohammed in 2015.

Kamande will now spend her life behind bars and on death row after a second court decreed that she has a heart full of malice, spite, callousness and hatred and which equally deserves to be punished by death. After High Judge Jessie Lessit sentenced her to death, Kamande moved to the Court of Appeal hoping to prove that she had no intention to kill Mohammed.
