MAN SLASHES PREGNANT WIFE AND LEAVES HER FOR DEAD A six-month pregn...ant woman is recuperating at Makueni Mother and Child hospital after a gruesome attack by her estranged husband who beat her before slashing her using a machete. 20-year-old Irene Ndinda sustained serious injuries on her head, hands, legs, face and mouth; she has several stitches on her head and bandages on both her hands. The attack occured on September 26, 2019 as Ms Ndinda escaped death by a whisker. According to a police source for the Star, good samaritans informed police about a woman lying helpless on the road. “When we rushed to the scene on Friday, we found a woman with serious cuts beside the road. She was in pain and seemed to be regaining her consciousness,” the officer said. Preliminary investigations indicated that the woman’s attacker dumped her in a forest in Mbiuni, Makueni after he thought he had killed her. “The woman crawled to the road for help at around noon the following day, she did not have clothes,” the officer said as quoted. Police rushed the victim of domestic violence to Makindu Hospital, Makueni before she was moved to Makueni Referral Hospital and later transferred to Makueni’s Mother and Child Hospital. Ms Ndinda’s mother, Priscilla Kimeu, was inconsolable by the sight of her daughter lying in bed. “I was shocked when I saw my daughter disfigured to a point where she could not be recognised. Her hands, face, mouth, legs had been slashed. She was swollen. Her tooth had been removed and lay in bed in pain,” Priscilla said. Ndinda is said to have met her lover in 2018 while she was studying and moved in together the same year. “Five months in their stay we never heard of any conflicts but on the six month into the relationship, Ndinda always went back to my mother’s home claiming she had been assaulted by the husband,” Eric Kimeu, elder brother to the victim, told the Star. Her family advised her to move out after several such incidents. Ndinda, together with her two-year-old child, eventually moved in permanently to her mother’s home. On that fateful day, Mr Kimeu said his sister Ndinda had gone to pick her remaining clothes from her husband’s home when the man attacked her on her way back to her mother’s home. “He carried her and dumped her in a thicket thinking she was dead but after she gained consciousness at the middle of the night, she crawled to nearby homesteads where she narrated to the owners what had befallen her,” said Mueni. “She had chosen to quit the abusive marriage long before but the husband has been unsuccessfully persuading her to go back back,” added the victim’s mother. Mueni wants justice for her daughter. Area chief James Muithya said the suspect was arrested and remanded. “He was arrested a day after the incident. His motorcycle that had blood is in custody serving as evidence,” he said. See More

BODA BODA RIDER SUCCUMBS FROM INJURIES BY NAIROBI COUNTY ASKARIS A ...motorist was allegedly brutally assaulted in an incident which left him fighting for his life in ICU. It was claimed that he was roughed up and manhandled by Nairobi county council askaris. In a video tweeted by activist Boniface Mwangi and retweeted by the former presidential aspirant, Martha Karua, on Monday, October 7, the boda boda rider is seen lying helplessly on the floor. The activist claimed that the rider had been roughed up in an alleged extortion attempt which went wrong. Cliff Tosh, who claimed to be the rider's brother cried out to the governor, stating that his brother was fighting for his life and the poverty-stricken family had no means to finance for his medication. "Mike Sonko, this is a heinous act committed by your askaris to my brother. A whole family is crying as he is in ICU. My mother has sold the only cow she had and she is on her way from Kitui at this hour to see her son. "Why this bwana governor? Why kill for heaven's sake? My God!" Tosh tweeted. However, Nairobi county communications director, Jacob Elkanah, denied that the governor or the county was notified of the incident and urged the family to take up the matter with City Hall. "Matters of ridding the CBD of away motorbikes are handled by multiagency detectives. If the matter occurred let them come to city hall and file a complaint and we will give our investigation department the green light to zero in on the case. "We are not aware of the case and Sonko has clearly stated his stand against hooliganism. He will swiftly act, upon being notified," Elkanah responded in a statement to Kenyans.co.ke newsroom. Nairobi county has been strict on motorists who break traffic and county laws. However, riders have severally complained of harassment by police officers and county askaris. See More

ANOTHER MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE COVER UP A man whose wife died while und...ergoing a breast enlargement surgery has accused a doctor who led the operation of trying to induce him to drop his claim for compensation. Joseph Mulupi claimed lead plastic surgeon at Surgeoderm Healthcare Clinic Stanley Khainga approached him to have the matter settled out of court. Mr Mulupi said he was asked to withdraw a complaint of professional misconduct and negligence he filed against Prof Khainga and two other doctors. He maintained that his wife June Mulupi walked into Khainga’s clinic on June 5, last year, a healthy woman and were it not for the negligence of the plastic surgeon and his colleagues Martin Ajujo and Evans Cherono, his wife would still be alive today. “It is highly manipulative and insensitive for Prof Khainga to play with me psychologically when it is their actions that caused the death of my wife. He has time and again sent his colleague to approach me, including during the funeral, for an amicable out-of-court settlement,” swore Mulupi. He added that the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board’s disciplinary committee was justified to take up the matter after the doctors’ explanations and attempts to shift blame to Nairobi Hospital did not bear fruit. Mulupi stated that if his wife was said to be in stable condition at the time of transfer to Nairobi Hospital, as claimed by the plastic surgeons, then there would have been no need to transfer her there. He said they would have directly discharged her like they did to other patients visiting their clinic. “My wife walked into their clinic on June 5, 2018, in perfect health and the sudden drop of blood pressure, bowel perforation, kidney failure and sepsis does not ordinarily occur without negligence. At no point was it demonstrated to have been caused by her voluntary act,” swore Mulupi. Mulupi filed the replying affidavit in the case in which Khainga, Dr Ajujo and Dr Cherono are contesting the medical board’s recommendations that a tribunal be appointed to investigate their conduct and suitability to perform plastic surgery after the failed surgery. Justice Weldon Korir scheduled the hearing on December 3. See More
