A woman who was allegedly beaten up by her neighbours in December for failing to pay a security fee of 2,500 per month has said that her life is in danger.
On 30th December 2016, a single mother of three daughters was beaten up by her neighbors at Membly Park Estate in Ruiru.
This happened at around 7.30 pm, the woman was driving home when the security guards refused to open the main gates for her.
She came out of the vehicle and that is when she was attacked and left for the dead. She was left with torn knee ligaments that need an operation.
The tenants of the said estate want the woman to leave the estate as she cannot afford to pay security fees charged amounting to Sh2500 per month.
The woman with her children is now living in fear of her life. According to her, she reported the matter to Membly police post and to date no action has been taken against the perpetrators.
