Kasoa ritual killing: Teenager sentenced to life in prison

Two teenagers have been found guilty of the 2021 murder of a 10-year-old boy in Kasoa.

Nicholas Kini, who was 18 at the time, received a life sentence, while the 15-year-old first accused was referred to juvenile court for sentencing.

The murder plot stemmed from a video promising wealth in exchange for human blood.

The boys lured the victim to an uncompleted building, where they killed him.

The court found both guilty of murder and conspiracy, with the jury delivering a unanimous verdict based on strong evidence and witness testimonies.
