MP assaults wife for accusing him of infecting her with STD

A Member of Parliament from Central Kenya is in the soup after allegedly assaulting his wife using an iron box after she accused him of being unfaithful.

According to sources privy to the incident, the first-time legislator arrived home in a drunken stupor and descended on the lactating mother of four with kicks and blows.

Close family members have alleged that he was angry with his wife, a medical practitioner, after she asked him how it was possible she has been treated for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) three times in under a year despite being faithful to him.

They also stated that the legislator called his mother-in-law at about 3am asking her to go pick up the “prostitute” or she would collect her (wife’s) lifeless body in the morning.

Her family further alleges that this is not the first time the MP had assaulted his wife as early this year, his mistress reportedly ambushed and attacked her (the wife) at a supermarket.

When she returned home after the confrontation with the mistress, the MP allegedly beat and inflicted further serious bodily injuries on her.

Sources close to the MP and his family also allege that the mistress, with whom they have a child together, is his wife’s relative.

The assaulted woman has since recorded a statement with the police and obtained a P3 form and is waiting for her MP husband to be arrested and charged.
