A 28-year-old tout will next week appear in court after he allegedly assaulted his 35-year-old girlfriend and inflicted serious bodily injuries on her.
Teachers police post chief officer Mercy Musyoka said that the accused, Nicholas Mukolwe, was arrested on Friday after Rose Nyokabi recorded an assault case at the station. She had earlier received a P3 document after undergoing medical treatment at Nakuru General hospital.
She said the complainant recorded that the accused had been assaulting her continuously while accusing her of infidelity. She said in the latest incident, the accused stormed a drinking joint at Mariakani business centre and attacked the complainant with a crude weapon and inflicted serious bodily harm on her after he found her taking drinks in company of other patrons.
“She insists that it has been a habit and that the accused is merely a boyfriend. She wants him charged in court for assault and we are preparing to present the case in court next week,’’ said the police officer.
