Police in Ol Kalou are holding a man for allegedly biting his wife on the cheek and injuring her seriously during a domestic row.
Nyandarua Central OCPD Wilson Kosgei said neighbours intervened after the woman raised the alarm. The neighbours beat up the assailant Njuguna Kagio, 24.
“Neighbours said the suspect, a father of two children aged five and one year, was very drunk and violent. The man injured his wife severely on the head,” he said.
Kosgei said this was not Kagio’s first attack on his wife. The police boss said investigations revealed that the man had absconded his responsibilities and had left the burden of raising the children to his jobless wife. The man used to work in the matatu sector but he quit and had taken to heavy drinking.He said the couple was taken to J.M Memorial Hospital for treatment, after which the wife was issued with a P3 Form and the husband put in custody. He will soon be taken to court.
In a related incident, a middle-aged woman was stabbed at a bar in Ol Kalou on Sunday evening. The woman was knifed in the right hand.
