A 22-year-old Kenyan lady, Ruth Wanjiru Kamanda, who stabbed her boyfriend, Farid Mohammed, to death for allegedly cheating on her in 2015, has been crowned Miss Langata Prison 2016, in a beauty contest organized for female prisoners.



It was gathered that Kamanda dusted 19 other contestants to the crown, with a Tanzania female convict, Tina Martin, in prison for drug related offense, emerging first runner-up, Susan Wairimu, who is in prison after participating in a robbery and murder-related crime, coming third.

The prison beauty queen has been in prison custody  for allegedly stabbing Mohammed 22 times after she found love messages from another woman on his phone at their residence in Buru, Buru Estate, a large middle-class residential area in the Eastlands part of Nairobi.

The victim who sustained stab wounds on his back, stomach, chest, and neck, later died in the hospital while undergoing treatment.
