Man who glued wife's private parts remanded at Embu prison

James Kifo, the man who glued his wife’s genitals in Tharaka Nithi, has been remanded at the Embu GK prison until June 10 pending bail ruling, the Chuka court ruled today.

Appearing at the Chuka law courts, Kifo denied charges of sexual assault, attempted murder, committing unnatural offence, and acting indecently against wife.

In a case before Resident Magistrate Njoki Kahara, he was also charged with breaching the Nairobi area blockade which is under cessation following Covid-19 pandemic.

His wife aged 23 was sexually assaulted in Tharaka South, and has since said she will stay away from him.

Kifo (pictured) is said to have returned home after a long sojourn in Nairobi and attacked his wife by first inserting pepper, salt and onions in her private parts using a sharp knife, before applying superglue mixed with sand to ‘seal’ it up.

He was arrested as he sought protection charms from a witch doctor at Kaningo, Tseikuru in Kitui County.
