Tuesday, March 12, 2024 – A 42-year-old woman from Busia has called for the arrest of her husband who she accused of subjecting her to domestic abuses.
Metrine Okumu said she suffered severe injuries to her face
and chest after her husband assaulted her.
Speaking to the media at Busia County and Referral Hospital,
where she was admitted after the ordeal, Okumu revealed that her ordeal began
after he went to a local bar to drink with another woman.
She said after she visited the bar to request some money to
buy food, the man and the unknown woman descended on her with blows, beating
her to a pulp.
She claimed that they also poured the alcohol they were
drinking on her.
The woman with a visibly swollen face said;
“I went to ask him for money to buy food, and he was seated
with another woman drinking alcohol. They poured the alcohol on me and then
began to beat me."
Okumu, who confessed to having concealed such assault in the
past to protect the husband, now wants her husband arrested to prevent a repeat
of the same once she returns home.
