Woman allegedly hacks husband over food in Nyatike

A middle-aged man is nursing injuries in Nyatike, Migori after he was allegedly hacked by his wife over food.

Nancy Onyango who lives in Kaler location   with her husband Samwel, allegedly attacked him on Tuesday evening.

“Our preliminary investigations indicate that the Samwel came home demanding for food from his wife,”area chief John Opiyo said.

The chief continued: “…this irritated her which led to several minutes of verbal attack between the duo before she hacked him with a panga.”

Mr. Onyango sustained a serious injury on the face and is currently recuperating at Migori Level 4 Hospital.

His wife has apparently gone missing after the incident and police are searching for her.

“The investigation into the bloody attack has begun and the suspect will be arrested and arraigned in court,” the chief added.

He urged couples to look for alternative ways of handling marital conflict instead of engaging in physical attacks.
