The Nanyuki High Court has convicted Faith Kanoria Mwebia for the murder of her boyfriend, Daniel Mwaniki Miano.

According to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), evidence presented in court established that the offence occurred on the night of 5th July 2020 in the Likii area of Laikipia County.

“The couple engaged in a violent confrontation following an earlier dispute,” stated the ODPP.

ODPP further revealed that during the quarrel, Mwebia physically attacked the deceased and threatened to kill him.

Hours later, Miano was found lying by the roadside with a fatal stab wound to the abdomen.

The prosecution team presented a watertight case, calling ten witnesses whose testimony detailed the chain of events leading to the fatal incident.

After a full trial, Hon. Justice A.K. Ndung’u ruled that the prosecution had proved the charge of murder beyond reasonable doubt.

The case was prosecuted by Counsel Jackson Motende and Esther Kimani.

The sentencing was scheduled for 2nd September 2025.
