A
13-year-old boy who allegedly murdered a girl in Nyandarua has said an
"unknown force" directed him to do so. The class three pupil said he
was having sex with the 11-year-old girl when a tall man with a panga and a
shiny knife appeared and ordered him to stab her.
He said in a
statement to police that he stabbed her several times as instructed before
going to the girl's sister and telling her what had transpired. The boy said
the girl who was his classmate at Githinji Primary School was his girlfriend.
It had been
reported that the victim Mary Nduta, had turned down the teenager's sexual
advances. The minor was charged on Monday with killing Nduta at Kibuyu village
in Magumu, Nyandarua county, Kenya on July 5.
He appeared
before judge Christine Meoli at Naivasha High Court and was represented by
lawyer Francis Irungu.
Meoli
ordered an age assessment for the body and remanded him to Engineer police
station in Kinangop until July 28 when the case will be mentioned.
The boy
stabbed the girl seven times in the stomach, chest and head using a kitchen
knife.
The girl was
found lying in a pool of blood next to the murder weapon. She was conscious at
the time she was found and positively identified the boy as her attacker.
The
investigating officer recovered the knife used to kill the girl and a pair of
shoes the boy left behind.
A postmortem
indicated the girl died from massive loss of blood, mainly from the chest. Kinangop
OCPD Yawa Chome said last week that the boy would also be subjected to mental
evaluation. He said he cannot take a plea before investigations are completed.
