Man hospitalized after wife stabs him

A middle-aged man is fighting for his life at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital after his wife stabbed him several times causing him extensive abdominal injuries on Monday night.

The man, identified as Kamau Njiru from Mwariki estate in Nakuru, was allegedly attacked by his wife for the second time after he apparently questioned her about the presence of two male friends at their house.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, the nurse in charge, Florence Ngoya, said that the patient had been received in the same hospital last year with similar injuries and had reported that he had been attacked by his wife.

“He was bleeding profusely when we received him, his intestines were out as the wife had stabbed him in the abdomen. We have, however, managed to stabilize him,” noted the nurse.

Ngoya said that the patient was rushed to the hospital by good Samaritans who, she said, did not give their details.

She added that the patient regained consciousness and told the medics that he had been attacked by his wife.

Police have since launched investigations into the matter.
