Area Nyumba Kumi official Enock Mokora confirmed the incident and said the suspect identified as Nyaanga attacked his cousin by the name Osoro on claims that Osoro was seducing his wife. 

“Nyaanga attacked his closest cousin accusing him of seducing his wife by writing her love messages which he found in his wife’s phone. He cut the victim with a panga on the forehead and fled from the scene” said Mokora.

Mokora added that the suspect’s wife has also gone into hiding after the incident. “The wife is also at large and we suspect she might have set up the victim to be attacked by her husband. No one is above the law and we will catch up with them,” said the official. 

Reached for a comment, Osoro admitted to have sent the messages but said it is the woman who started sending her love messages. 

He said he will file a case in court once discharged from hospital.
