A Kenyan man allegedly chopped off his wife’s hand after a
standoff over a funeral function at Tarang’anya village in Kuria West
sub-county.
Maria Rioba Musa, 50, a mother of nine is now calling for
justice after her husband Musa Matiko Gisiri allegedly attacked her using a
panga on Thursday night.
“I left for a funeral on Monday at one of our in laws
homestead, we thought the burial was to take place on that day but it delayed
until Wednesday which caused of the problem,” Maria said.
“When I came back home on Thursday I prepared supper when my
husband came back home and started attacking me,” she said.
She said he chopped off her left hand but attempts to cut
off her right hand failed as the panga did not slice through the middle of her
palm. Doctors at the hospital are trying to save her right hand.
Her husband also cut her on her fore head and hurled a spear
through her stomach. Rioba said her husband, his brother and other family
members left her bleeding in the homestead and it was only her relatives in the
same village who rushed to the home and took her to hospital. .
Her daughter, Catherine Musa, a first year student at Msomi
TTC said her mother has been the sole bread winner for her eight other
siblings, including five who are in high school and colleges.
“My mother had to remain at the funeral until burial because
it is our custom, we are now facing a bleak future as she was our main
breadwinner,” Catherine said.
Mad man!
