A 35 year-old man is recuperating in a Nakuru hospital after he was assaulted and seriously injured by his jilted wife after she discovered used condoms in their matrimonial bed. Muchanganyiko sub chief Samuel Karani who confirmed the incident said that James Kimani was assaulted by his wife Jane Mukami of two children, using a blunt metal item that inflicted serious bodily harm on the hotel attendant’s head and face. The chief who spoke at Muchanganyiko trading centre said the assailant had gone in hiding fearing arrest after residents of the area reported the matter to his office. According to Karani, the man was rushed to the nearest St. Antony Hospital by his nephew who lives near the couple in the slum residential area. He said, according to the nephew, the assailant had been living with her parents after the couple differed and briefly separated. However, she accused her husband of infidelity after discovering the used protective devises and attacked him using a crude weapon after they exchanged bitter words for a few minutes. “The couple has been separated for a few months. When the wife came back from her parents’ home where she has been living, she accidentally came across used condoms and accused her husband of infidelity. They quarrelled for a few minutes before she grabbed a blunt metal object which she used to inflict injuries on him,’’ said the sub chief.
