16-year-old girl stabbed to death over memory card in Bomet

A 16-year-old girl was on Wednesday stabbed to death by her female friend at Mulot trading centre, Bomet County, following an altercation over the ownership of a memory card.

Police reports say that the deceased, a greengrocer by profession, was in possession of the said memory card when the suspect accosted her but she refused to hand it over.

The suspect is said to have snatched a knife from the victim, which she was using to chop vegetables, before using it to stab her in the chest. 

The deceased died on the spot while the suspect, a 16-year-old bar attendant, was apprehended soon after.

"We are told that the suspect is a bar attendant at Mulot trading center and was moving to Bomet town. We are lucky to have arrested her immediately with the help of members of the public," Bomet Wast sub-county police boss Francis Kigeri said in a statement.

The deceased's body has since been moved to the Longisa County Referral Hospital mortuary while investigations into the incident continue.
