A Kirinyaga man is nursing serious pain after his genitals were mutilated by his lover while he was asleep.
The man in his 40s had moved to the widow's house after allegedly chasing away his wife and selling his land.
He was reported to have been assaulted by the widow when he slept after a drinking spree.
According to the victims parents, their son had left his home after selling his half-acre piece of land at Sh420,000.
Witnesses revealed that the widow from Thumaita village befirended him and that they had been living there as lovers until last Sunday.
"My son left our home some time ago after he sold his inheritance land against our will as his parents and after hurling insults at us," his elderly parents claimed.
"We learnt with dismay of the brutal assault on our son but since he is in such dire need of medication, we have forgiven him and we're ready to take him back home," his father said.
