Locals say that the man identified as Joseph Oruru arrived home drunk on Thursday night and started attacking his preganant wife.

Mr Oruru told Hivisasa that it is nice when a man has a son who will inherit from him.
“A real man must have a son who will inherit and take care of the family incase of anything. Daughter will be married off and the family legacy will die,” he said.
