A 42-year-old Kenyan woman based in Busia County has called for the arrest of her husband who she accused of subjecting her to domestic abuses.
Metrine Okumu said she suffered
severe injuries to her face and chest after her husband assaulted her. Speaking
to the media at Busia County and Referral Hospital, where she was admitted after
the ordeal, Okumu revealed that her ordeal began after he went to a local bar
to drink with another woman.
She said after she visited the
bar to request some money to buy food, the man and the unknown woman descended
on her with blows, beating her to a pulp. She claimed that they also poured the
alcohol they were drinking on her.
The woman with a visibly
swollen face said;
“I went to ask him for money to
buy food, and he was seated with another woman drinking alcohol. They poured
the alcohol on me and then began to beat me."
Okumu, who confessed to having
concealed such assault in the past to protect the husband, now wants her
husband arrested to prevent a repeat of the same once she returns home.
