I never mean't to kill my childhood friend says 17-year-old girl.......SEE PHOTO

Its still like a fairy tale to Chiemeriem Benjamin, who had a dream of
becoming a banker, but that dream has come to a temporary stop as she
accidentally killed her childhood friend, Lawrence Oloruntobi, during
a minor disagreement.
The painful and unexpected 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 firstclass newsline"Lawrence is my friend; we grew up
together and have lived in the same environment from as far back as I
can remember.
"On the day of the incident, 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 later went out 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 junior 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.
I was very angry, 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 went 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, he 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.
"Unluckily, 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.
Some neighbours, who were around, responded and we quickly rushed him
to a nearby hospital, but it was too late. He died.
Frankily, 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."
Firstclass Newsline gathered that the case, which is currently being
investigated by operatives in the homicide section of Lagos State
Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, would soon be taken to court.
