Residents in Bamburi, Mombasa County were left in shock after a man bit off his wife’s lips following a domestic fight.
The man identified as David Mungai has been regularly fighting with his wife, Anne Waireri.
The couple has three children and the police had launched a manhunt on Mungai after their domestic fight.
Mombasa Police Commandant Johnston Ipara said the suspect went into hiding after biting off his wife’s lips.
Mr Ipara said the suspect, who is a businessman at the Nakumatt Nyali area in Mombasa, quarreled with his wife at their home near ‘Masters’ area in Bamburi.
During their argument, Mungai who allegedly has been senselessly beating her up, bit off Ms Waireri’s lower lips causing her severe injuries.
The police commandant told reporters that Ms Waireri reported the matter at the Bamburi police station.
“We have launched investigations into the incident. The woman had reported to the police that she has experienced severe beating and other forms of brutality from her husband.”
“It seems she has remained numb all along hoping that her husband would change but things did not work out well with her,” said Mr Ipara.
Ms Waireri received treatment at the Coast general referral hospital before reporting the matter to the police.
According to citizentv.co.ke, the suspect has been arrested after neighbors spotted him in Bamburi and frogmarched him to the police station.
The suspect is expected to be arraigned in court once the police investigation is complete.
