The High Court in Naivasha has sentenced a university student to twenty-five years in prison for the murder of a 15-year-old girl five years ago.

High Court Judge Grace Nzioka found twenty-two-year-old Fredrick Mwonjoria, a student at Machakos University, guilty of murdering the minor after she allegedly rejected his sexual advances.

Mwonjoria, who was a student at Nanyuki High School at the time of the incident, was charged with the murder of Valerian Njeri on November 28, 2019, in the Mirera estate of Naivasha.

The two were neighbors in an area that houses many flower farm workers.
