Kericho man accused of cheating on wife chops off manhood

A 70-years-old small-scale tea farmer from Getarwet Sub-location in Bureti constituency, Kericho County, is fighting for his life at Litein Mission Hospital after severing his manhood.

According to Getarwet Sub-Location Assistant Chief Sylvester Sigei, the old man took a kitchen knife and mutilated his manhood after his family accused him of “using it to satisfy” village women especially widows at the expense of catering for his own family.

“When the man’s wife and children confronted the man over wasting limited tea earning on village women, the man denied the accusation and for good measure decided to chop off his manhood,” said Sigei.

The chief revealed that the man has four acres of tea that his family claim they have never enjoyed tea bonus paid by Kenya Tea Development Agency despite being the ones who weed and pluck the tea bushes.

“Among the other accusation levelled against the man is that his has even used the tea bonus to construct a permanent house for one of the widow’s he intends to inherit yet he has not constructed a good house for his own family,” said Sigei.

The chief said neighbours who rushed to the scene and found the man down in a pool of blood while clutching his bleeding manhood held in place by a few ligaments.

“The man was rushed to Litein hospital for reconstructive surgery,” said.

A source at the hospital said the procedure to reattach the hanging manhood lasted for three hours.

The medic nonetheless declined to divulge more information over the bizarre incident.
