A middle-aged woman is currently nursing injuries at the Kakamega County Referral Hospital after she was raped at gunpoint before being dumped by two unknown men.

42-year-old Evelyn Nafula was visited by the two unknown men who pretended to be looking for a house to rent at her plot.

The men requested her to open the gate so that they could park their vehicle inside as she reached for the bunch of keys to open the vacant house.

It was while opening the gate that they bundled her inside the vehicle and drove to an unknown destination.

“My mother was visited by two unknown men who asked for a vacant house to rent within the plot. She picked keys to open the house but they requested her to open the gate for them to park their car inside. While opening the gate the two bundled her inside the vehicle whose registration number was not taken and drove to an unknown destination,” Nafula's 13-year-old daughter, a grade seven student, explained to the police in the company of a neighbour.

The police found a note dropped by the two men at the gate stating the lady was to pay for the sins committed by her husband.

“Because of your sins, your beloved wife will pay,” the note to her husband Samuel Ojwang stated.

The victim was found by boda boda riders along the Navakholo-Kakamega road while looking dizzy.

She was rescued and rushed to Oasis Hospital before being referred to the Kakamega County Referral Hospital where it was established that she had been raped by her kidnappers who were armed with guns before she was abandoned on the road.

The police in Navakholo have launched a manhunt for the suspects and investigations into the case.
