Man fighting for life after his genitals are chopped off

A man is fighting for his life after his private parts were chopped off in a bizarre incident in Murang'a.

The victim, 51, from Kamahuha in Maragua sub-county was allegedly assaulted by people who were taking beer with him in a liquor outlet in the area on Wednesday night.

Investigations established that the victim learnt of the incident in the morning, after he found himself in one of the suspect's home, bleeding profusely.

Residents at the market centre said the victim who was in the company of two others, left the outlet shortly after 2 am.

They said the trio resolved to spend the night in one of the suspects' house.

He was rushed to Maragua District Hospital before being transferred to Murang'a Referral Hospital where he was booked for surgery.

The residents said that his attackers left him in the house asleep and have not been traced.
Kamahuha MCA James Karanja blamed the incident on the increased consumption of drugs among the youth.

"This matter should be investigated and the public is expected to fully cooperate and provide information pertaining to the suspects," said Karanja.

Muranga South OCPD Dorothy Gaitenga said a suspect has been arrested in connection to the incident and that the matter is under investigations to establish the motive behind the incident.

“We have a suspect in custody who is helping with the investigation," said the OCPD.

The matter was reported at Saba Saba Police Station.
