Human rights group Amnesty International has asked that Ruth Kamande's death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment and termed the ruling by Lady Justice Jessie Lesiit as "backward". The judge says Kamande showed no remorse for stabbing her boyfriend Farid Mohammed twenty-five times hence the harsh penalty despite a plea for leniency by her lawyer.
