An elderly woman is in Nyatieko, Kisii County is recovering from burns after she was burnt by hot water by her daughter-in-law.
Drama ensued after the daughter-in-law accused the mother of favoring her daughter, who was visiting accompanied by her husband.
The lady accused the mother of giving the daughter foodstuffs including bananas from their farm anytime time they came visiting.
She waited for the moment when the mother was seeing off her daughter and husband and decided to attack the daughter (sister-in-law).
The mother-in-law intervened together with the sister’s husband and saw off the visitors as earlier planned.
The daughter-in-law is said to have followed the mother to a neighbor's house, where she almost hacked her with a panga.
The shaken mother did not leave the neighbor’s house, waiting for his son to come home for them to solve the issue and also hide from the daughter in law.
However, when she finally made her way home, she was attacked by the son and the daughter-in-law, who asked for hot water and caused her burns from the abdomen going down.
The lady was rushed to the nearest hospital and admitted with serious burns, with the neighbors and other family members an agitated lot.
It is reported that the two have been warring for a while now, with family feuds being the main reason.
The lady is said to have disappeared, but the villagers and the neighbors said will not rest until they find her.
