The police in
Tharaka South Sub-County in Kenya said the suspect first persuaded his wife to
move from their Marimanti township home, fearing that he would be arrested
after having travelled from Nairobi where there is a lockdown.
On reaching Kathita
River, the man who threatened to kill his wife ordered her to undress. It was
gathered that when she turned down his request, the man descended on her with
blows while threatening to stab her with the knife he was holding.
The police read in
part;
“They both went and
on reaching River Kathita, he ordered her to remove all her clothes so that she
may tell him all the men she had slept with while he was at Nairobi."
Tharaka South Police
Commander, Kiprop Rutto said the suspect then proceeded to adding pepper, salt
and onions in his wife’s private parts using a sharp knife, before applying
superglue mixed with sand to ‘seal’ it off. He also applied the same super glue
on his wife's ears and mouth before fleeing from the scene.
The woman managed to
walk to Marimanti Police Station where she reported the matter before she was
rushed to Marimanti Sub-County Hospital where she is receiving treatment. Mr
Rutto added that the suspect is a known criminal in the region who is being
sought by the police for various crimes.
Police said they
have launched a manhunt to seize and charge him in court.
