Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) Chair Ezekiel Mutua has spoken candidly on the Kiambu murder case where a 22-year-old student admitted to killing four members of his family.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Njoroge had confessed to the police that he drew his inspiration from a British dark comedy-drama, Killing Eve.<\/p>\n

He stated that he was particularly influenced by Villanelle, a psychopathic character, who becomes an assassin for hire and goes on a brutal killing spree on all her victims.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke Mutua revealed KFCB had already taken action taken against the series.<\/p>\n

“Yes, the series has been restricted and is currently rated as not suitable to persons under the age of 18,” Mutua stated.<\/p>\n

Recently, the KFCB chair also took to social media to further point out the substantial effects that media has on the youth and children.<\/p>\n

“When we say that content consumed by our kids has a bearing on our national security, this is exactly what we mean. Media content influences the behavior and the thinking of consumers, especially children.<\/p>\n

“Kids who consume violent content have a likelihood of becoming violent adults,” he stated.<\/p>\n

Kenya joins Brazil in giving the highest age rating for the psychological thriller which is a hot sell in local movie shops and online streaming platforms.<\/p>\n

Killing Eve has a PG rating of 14 in the United States of America owing to its strong violence, bloody images, strong sensuality, sexual material, brief drug content and explicit language.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in countries such as South Korea and Germany, the series has been received a rating of 16+.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Mutua has stamped his authority over content deemed unfit for consumption by the viewers.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Mutua has banned international hits Wolf of Wall Street and Fifty Shades of Grey over sexual content.<\/p>\n

Local music is also not spared. Hits such as Wamlambez by Sailors Gang was restricted to clubs while a song by Alvindo dubbed Takataka was completely banned for citing violence against women who rejected men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
