Man caught in viral video assaulting wife jailed for 12 years

Daudi Nzomo, man who was caught on camera assaulting his wife Winfred Mwende, in Makueni County, Kibwezi West Constituency, has been given a 12-year jail sentence.

According to the prosecutor, the victim also revealed that Nzomo had assaulted her back in 2013 when she objected the husband marrying a second wife.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji had earlier ordered the immediate arrest and prosecution of Nzomo.

“The DPP has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to immediately have (the) suspect arrested and arraigned before court,” read a tweet from the office of the DPP.

In the video that went viral on Tuesday last week, Nzomo was seen thoroughly beating up his wife and some people in the background were heard pleading with the man to stop the beastly act.
