A man is nursing injuries at the Nyamira County Hospital following an attack by three men in Makairo Village.
Felix Mayuya was admitted at the hospital after sustaining deep panga cuts after being attacked by three men when he and his wife were visiting a neighbour.
Addressing the press in his hospital bed on Friday, Mayuya said he had gone with his wife to visit a neighbor who was not feeling well.
They met three young men at the house who failed to respond to their greetings he said.
“They picked up a quarrel with me and when I inquired what it was all about they responded rudely and began to fight," Mayuya said.
He said the woman they had gone to visit asked them to enter the house and lock the door but the young men broke the door.
“I had to fight for my life and our host advised me to escape through the window as there was no other way out," he added.
"At that time they had already injured my shoulder and the hand I used to protect my neck from panga."
In a telephone interview, area Assistant Chief Joshua Masi said authorities have commenced investigations into the incident.
