A man has been accused of causing grievous harm to his pregnant wife.
Dan Simiyu allegedly stepped on his wife's abdomen, squeezed her throat and beat her up.
He was charged before Kibera chief magistrate Ann Mwangi, where he denied the charges.
The charge sheet says the accused person committed the offence on November 10 at Darajani, Kibera subcounty in Nairobi.
He is said to have attacked Junicai Simiyu, his wife, whom he found relaxing on a chair in their house.
The court heard that the accused person asked the complainant why she had slept with the other men but she told him that it was not possible because she was pregnant.
He allegedly assaulted her and told her to pack and go with further instructions of terminating the said pregnancy.
She declined to follow his instructions.
The complainant was rescued by some of her neighbours who heard her crying for help. She was the rushed to the hospital.
The accused person was however released on Sh20,000 cash bail and the court directed that the matter be mentioned on November 21.
The court also directed that the accused person be supplied with witness statements and documentary evidence that the prosecution will rely on during the entire case.
