The third year Bachelor of Science (Renewable
Energy and Bio-Fuels Technology) student was heading home with her friends
after a night out in a club in Bungoma Town when she was attacked.
While her friends managed to escape, she did not.
The assailant sexually assaulted her before chopping off
her arm and throwing it on the roof of a house in the area.
The victim was rushed to the Bungoma West Hospital in
critical condition but a Doctor in the hospital confirms that she’s in a stable
condition.
“The lady’s left arm was completely severed
from her body. She had lost a lot of blood,” a Doctor at the hospital said.
“Her assailant did not only
cut her arm, but also raped her."
"We are taking her to the theatre to manage the injuries,” said the doctor, who revealed that it would be impossible to reattach the victim’s arm.

“She is now in a stable
condition, and we thank God we had a unit of her blood group in the bank,” the
Doctor added.
The lady’s severed arm was found by a neighbor who called
the police and they took it with them.
The neighbor identified as Zaituni Shaban, told
reporters:
“At 5am, we heard
a woman screaming for help, but my husband and I feared responding to the
distress call."
“Later, 6am, I went out of the house, and when I looked
on a neighbour’s roof, I saw something that resembles a human being’s arm
wrapped in a bra, and thrown there."
“When the arm was removed from the roof by police, we
confirmed that it belonged to a human being,”
“We later learnt that the limb was that of a neighbor, a
Third-Year student at Kibabii University.”
Residents have now called on police officers to beef up
security in the area over the rampant insecurity that has seen three women,
mostly University students raped over the last three months.
