A middle-aged man is nursing serious injuries at Mama Lucy hospital after being assaulted by his wife on Sunday, July 3, 2022.

A police report seen by K24 Digital indicates that Prisca Wangare stabbed her husband, Isaac Macharia, in the stomach using a kitchen knife after a disagreement over an undisclosed matter at their Kayole home.

Police said Macharia had just returned home from work on Sunday evening when the fight ensued.

During the fight, Wangare sustained injuries on her cheek and right ear.

"The victim had come from work and quarrelled with his wife. She picked up a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the stomach causing serious injuries. She also sustained a swollen cheek and right ear," the police report read in part.

Macharia was rushed to modern Komarok healthcare in Utawala before he was referred to Mama Lucy Hospital.

The wife has since been arrested for attempted murder.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the woman had attempted to distort the evidence by cleaning the scene and throwing away the knife.

After interrogation, police managed to recover the weapon used in the attack.

Tampering with evidence is the crime of altering, destroying, or concealing physical evidence with the intent to affect the outcome of a criminal investigation or court proceeding.

On Thursday night last week, another man was seriously assaulted by his wife in the Reuben slums following a quarrel over infidelity.

The couple, Caroline Kerubo,32, and Josphat Mosiria, 37, picked a quarrel over claims of infidelity at around 8:00 pm.

“The woman picked a soda bottle which she used to hit the husband with on the head and mouth. The man was found lying in a pool of blood and was rushed to Bristol Park Hospital in a serious condition,” police said.

At the time of the incident, the couple was in the house together with their two children aged two years and six months.
