Witnesses said the trouble started when David Machoni asked his wife, Josephine Kerubo to give him a birthday cake which was left for him after the family celebrated their daughter's birthday on Wednesday evening.

"Machoni was away from home when the cake was served to neighbors to celebrate a birthday for his daughter who marked 4 years on Wednesday on returning he demanded to be served with a share of the cake," said Peter Sagwe.

Mr Sagwe said Kerubo served neighbors with all the cake and didn't leave any piece for her husband.

"Kerubo told him there was no cake for him and he got angry and attacked her accusing her of serving neighbors all the cake yet he is the one who bought it," added Sagwe.

Area chief, Fred Nyaming'a confirmed the incident and said Kerubo sustained injuries on her left ear following the attack.
