A woman is nursing
burn injuries at Limuru Nursing
Home after she fought with her
husband over Sh50 paraffin on
Wednesday night.
Ann Wangui, 25, says she was
overpowered by her 31-year-old
husband when she tried to run
away.
“When I decided to run away,
I took our parrafin lamp, teased
him with it and quickly opened
the door, but before I rushed outside,
he pulled me back inside and
banged me against the wall.
The
lamp exploded,” Wangui, who is
from Thigio in Limuru constitu-ency, said. The mother of one sustained
burns on her chest, neck,
face and hands.
But the doctors said she was out
of danger.
Sauti ya Wanaume na Watoto
chairman James Njenga condemned
the violence, saying Wangui’s
husband should be arrested.
But Wangui said she does not want
to file a case against her husband.
“God will deal with him. I only
want my daughter, clothes, one
sheep and one hen. They are mine.
I want to go to back my parents
home to start a new life once I am
discharged,” she said.
