How a 17 Year old killed her childhood friend

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 interestedin 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 startedcalling 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 becharged to court.
