A man in
Tharaka Nithi is on the run after sexually assaulting his wife over cheating allegations.
The suspect
is said to have returned home on Saturday night from Nairobi, and told his wife
they were shifting to another area to avoid be arrested for violating curfew
rules.
According to the Tharaka South Police Commander Kiprop Rutto, the
suspect and his wife left home and when they reached Kathita River, the man ordered
his wife to undress and threatened to kill her.
The man, who is still on the run, reportedly
put pepper, salt and sand in his wife’s genitals using a knife and later put
superglue. The suspect also put superglue on the wife’s ears and mouth.
The victim, despite the horrific
incident, still managed to walk to the Marimanti Police Station and reported
what happened.
She was later rushed to the Marimanti
Sub-County Hospital for treatment.
While giving her statement to the
police, the victim says her husband started beating her and accused her of
sleeping with other men during his visit in Nairobi.
Police are currently hunting for the
suspect who will be charged with sexual assault.
