A 20-year-old woman from Soysambus sub-location in Ndalu
Bungoma County, Kenya is currently hospitalized after her mother-in-law
allegedly threw acid on her legs and tied her to a pole inside a room
for two weeks to rot.
Soysambu sub-location administrator
Geoffrey Okumu, who confirmed the incident, said the woman identified as
Reginalda, was allegedly attacked by her mother--in-law, Margaret
Masai, shortly after giving birth. The suspect, however denied the
allegations.
The Chief doctor at Friends Lugulu
Mission Hospital, Oliver Mamadi said he received the woman last
Wednesday, February 22, with both her legs and fingers in a state of
decay. The acid had liquefied parts of her limbs so they were
consequently amputated.
Police officers at the
Kapchonge police are investigating the acid attack, with Reginalda's
husband and mother-in-law being the prime suspects.
