The High Court has sentenced a police officer’s former girlfriend to seven years in prison for stealing the cop’s pistol.
Making the ruling, Makadara Chief Magistrate Heston Nyaga mentioned that the lady, whom the court referred to as a ‘slay queen’ will have no option of a fine.
During the matter’s hearing, it was revealed that Njeri drugged and robbed the policeman, Peter Kilemi, of his pistol when they two were out on a casual drink in January.

She is then reported to have vanished and gone into hiding for four months.
Magistrate Nyaga stated that there is a big number of slay queens who prey on men by drugging and stealing from them.

“I find that there are cases on the rise of people who call themselves slay queens. Their work is to go to clubs and look for someone to drug and steal their valuables,” he noted.
Njeri was sentenced to five years for possessing a firearm without a certificate and two years for stealing the pistol and phones from the officer.
Before the ruling, she defended herself by mentioning that she was a single mother and her family depended on her.
