Police in Nairobi are holding a Form 2 student who is alleged to have stabbed and killed his 19-year-old friend following a fight over a flash disk in Gatekwera area within Kibra.

The two are said to have argued over ownership of the flash disk before the accused picked a kitchen knife and attacked his friend.

Confirming the incident, Sarang’ombe area chief Edwin Otwori said the 15-year-old suspect surrendered to Kibra DC police officers on Sunday evening after committing the act on Saturday.

The chief added that after interrogation, the suspect was transferred to Kilimani Police Station pending arraignment on Monday.

The mother of the suspect was also rescued from the wrath of the irate locals who torched their house after the incident.
