17 Years Old Girl Stabs Her Childhood Male Friend To Death In Lagos State

Life for Chiemeriem Benjamin, who had a dream of becoming a banker, has come to a temporary halt as she accidentally killed her childhood friend, Lawrence Oloruntobi, during a minor disagreement.

The incident, which took place at Iba area of Lagos, has opened a scary new phase of life for the teenager, who hails from Abia State.
Chiemeriem told Vanguard: “Lawrence is my friend; we grew up together and have lived in the same environment from as far back as I can remember.
“On that day, I was just not in the mood to talk with him. When I came out in the morning, he tried to make some jokes, which we would ordinarily laughed about. But I told him I was not interested in such.
“I went out later that day and on my way back, I saw him forcing my younger brother to play in a stagnant body of water in front of our compound.
“My brother was crying out for help, because he did not want to be dragged into the water. I quickly walked up to Lawrence to stop him. He took it personal and told me he would slap me.
“Out of anger, I told him that even his mother would not dare slap me. He then went in to get a cane, which has always been his tradition whenever we are having a misunderstanding.
“I also rushed into our room to grab a knife. But my elder brother and a neighbour, called Iya Ayo, intervened and settled the matter.”
According to the 17-year-old, Senior Secondary 1 student, “about two hours later, Lawrence came back to meet me, threatening to deal with me. We started exchanging words, which later culminated in a fight.
“I went in and grabbed another knife just to threaten him.
“Unfortunately, while my elder brother, who intervened again, was trying to plead with Lawrence not to fight with me because I am a girl, I angrily stabbed Lawrence in the chest with the knife.
“It was only after my action that I realized what I had done. I started calling out for help because I was very scared.
“Few neighbours, who were around, responded and we quickly rushed him to a nearby hospital, but it was too late. He died.
“Sincerely, I never meant to kill him with the knife. I only wanted to threaten him, but I just do not know how and why I stabbed him.”
Vanguard learned that the case, which is currently being investigated by operatives in the homicide section of Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, would soon be charged to court.

This girl is a young murderer. Why grabbing a knife at the first place if you don't have intentions of killing him? Rot in jail bastard

Man this is too much, why don't you guys behave yourself on this site, is it because you feel your identity is masked? Is this site filled with kids, how does the tribe justify the innocence of this girl? You have a quarrel with a guy and you picked a knife twice against him even though you know you are a woman, even when your brother was asking you guys to calm down you did not respect him but still went ahead to stab the guy, the stabbing was not even during a fierce fight or exchange. You as a girl do not deserve to live among normal people, just go to where you belong because if you are forgiven the evil spirit in you will push you to kill the man that will marry you.
