A woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death in Nairobi’s Buru Buru estate has a case to answer, the High Court ruled yesterday.

Gatumo said it was around 8.45am, as he was preparing to go to church when he heard a male voice crying out for help in Kiswahili, saying, 'Nisaidie, nasaidie amenidunga (Help! Help! She has stabbed me).'

"I rushed out of my room and proceeded to where the man was screaming for help and peeped through the window. I recognised the voice as that of my tenant," he said.

"I managed to break the window but could not reach the key. I could still see the girl holding the knife from where I was."

Witness Joseph Otieno, a police officer who responded to a distress call, said he found Farid already dead.

In earlier testimonies, the trial court heard that Kamande had fits of rage a day before she stabbed her boyfriend.

It also heard that she was probably reacting to old high school love letters she found in her boyfriend’s possession.
