A Kenyan woman who scalded her estranged husband with acid after he caught her in bed with another man has denied the assault charge claiming they had already separated.
Lucy Njeri
was arraigned at the Makadara law courts and charged with assaulting Geoffrey
Nyebere in Soweto estate in Embakasi East sub county, Nairobi on January 16,
2021.
However,
Njeri told senior principal magistrate Angelo Kithinji that the complainant was
no longer her husband as she had left him because she could not stand him and
his ‘oversized’ manhood.
She told the
court that she had warned Nyabere not to visit her house again because his
manhood ‘is too big for any woman’.
Njeri said
she made numerous complaints against Nyambere to Soweto police station for
persistently visiting her residence despite her stern warnings that she did not
want anything to do with him anymore.
"I have
repeatedly told him that I don’t want him because I can’t stand him but he
keeps coming back and I have reported him to the police for it. I have more
than 20 (Occurrence Book) entry records against him but he rushes to the police
to file counterclaims against me and no action has ever been taken. I can show
them,” she added.
It was
gathered that the complainant reportedly arrived at her house at around 10pm on
the fateful day only to find her with another man but she allegedly declined to
open the door despite her persistent knocking.
Nyambere was
said to have then opened a window only for her to splash a corrosive substance
on his face leaving his face disfigured.
She took off
with her lover as neighbours gathered around her house and the man was rushed
to hospital for urgent treatment.
Njeri, who
was arrested the following day, pleaded with the court for lenient bail and
bond terms and was released on Sh10,000 cash bail.
The hearing
of the case starts on June 21.
