A Kenyan banker has been convicted of attempted murder after stabbing a former romantic partner three times, KBC Digital reports.
The case was heard in Mombasa, where the court found the man guilty over the attack on his ex-lover. KBC Digital did not name the convicted man or give the date of the stabbing in its headline and summary.
Reporting from other outlets carried further detail on how the encounter unfolded. Nairobi Leo reported that the banker lured his former partner with shopping and drinks before the knife attack. Tuko News and Uzalendo News also reported that the victim was stabbed three times.
Coverage of the case has drawn attention in Kenya, with several outlets focusing on the circumstances leading up to the assault. KDRTV described the case as involving a man convicted over stabbing his wife three times, while other reports referred to the victim as a former lover. The available material does not reconcile those differing descriptions of the relationship.
The conviction means the banker now faces sentencing for attempted murder. KBC Digital's report did not include the sentence handed down or the date the ruling was delivered.
What to watch next: sentencing details and any statement from the court in Mombasa, which have not yet been reported in the material available.
