A middle-aged man has been arraigned before a Mombasa Court to answer to charges of calling a woman stupid.
Mr Stephen Owino was charged with allegedly abusing Ms Brigida Kasuni by calling her a ‘stupid woman’.
The prosecution told the court that the accused person intentionally and unlawfully abused Ms Kasuni on August 20, at a rental house in Ushindi area in Likoni.
The accused is alleged to have intended to provoke a breach of peace by insulting Ms Kasuni.
The court further heard that Mr Owino also allegedly referred to the complainant as a ‘witch’.
The accused person however pleaded not guilty to all the charges before Mombasa senior resident magistrate Martni Rabera and asked to be released on a reasonable bail.
Magistrate Rabera released him on a surety bond of Sh20,000 or a cash bail of Sh10,000 pending the next case hearing.
The case will be heard on October 18, 2016.
