A 30-year-old Kenyan woman has survived after she was stabbed severally by her husband in Nyeri County.
Peninah Wangechi is currently receiving treatment at the Karatina Hospital after she was stabbed 17 times during a domestic quarrel with her spouse.
Speaking from the hospital bed, the mother of three says she was involved in a scuffle with her husband, Samuel Ndirangu before he stabbed her 17 times on her back, chest, and face using a knife.
Ms. Wangechi says they have been having constant quarrels and Ndirangu has been physically abusing her.
Karatina Sub-county Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr. Benson Ngari says the woman’s condition is stable.
Dr. Ngari says the victim had bled a lot by the time she was brought to the hospital but the knife wounds were fortunately not as deep.
The suspect has since surrendered himself to police and has been detained at Karatina Police station as investigations continue.
Wrong knife. Too big.
Wrong knife. Too big.
Says the expert huh?

So sad
So sad
A physically abusive partner…
A physically abusive partner and she stayed? How much evidence do women need to realize that marriage has hit rocks and is beyond repair?Seems like Wangechis are too patient with these beasts.
Some rouge pastors Foolishly…
Some rouge pastors Foolishly adhere to Scripure that says “God hates Divorce”. And this Traps so many Naive women? (and some Sissy men?) in Emotionally and Physically abusive Marriages.
Mambo haya hayakutendeka…
Mambo haya hayakutendeka tulipokuwa tukifuata mila za mababu zetu. Ajabu, mwanamume huyu ni mkristo! Ana jina la Kiyahudi yaani “Samuel!”
Kwa nini wakristo wanawadharau wanawake hivyo? biblia inawafundisha wanaume kufikiria ya kwamba ni lazima mwanamke amtii (obey) mumewe. Maneno haya machafu yameandikwa kwenye Agano Jipya (New Testament). Mwanamume anaombwa ampende mkewe lakini mwanamke amtii mumewe.
Pia, mwanamke anaambiwa asizungumze kanisani na pia ajifunike kitambaa kichwani! Upuzi mtupu. Ndiyo unaona siku hizi wanaume Kenya wamezidi sana kwa kuwatesa wake zao.
Dada Wangechi, utakapopata nafuu na kutoka hospitali ingekuwa bora kama ungefikiria kuanzisha maisha yako bila mkristo Samuel.
Atleast you are alive.Women…
Atleast you are alive.Women from your community were known for beating up their men than came the Me too movement which has turned those same who were being beaten up to murderers.They are slowly turning into their distant cousins the Meru and their fellow bantus in western kenya the kisii.I know it is stereotyping but these two tribes are known to be quite violent.
@ Guest1,does the scripture…
@ Guest1,does the scripture really say ,God hates divorce? Iam not very conversant with the bible,but if he does hate divorce, he has the power to do away with it, I would think.especially if they say marriages are made in heaven…
Anyway, we have been given brains to help us make wise judgement.This starts with choosing the right partner.Secondly, when you see you partner supposedly changing into what you did not bargain for, its time to pack and seek some one who will align with your princiles, beliefs…and way of life,or remain single.All these are choices you have to make.Nobody should make them for you.You know when you are in abad marriage(made in hell),and you know when you are in agood marriage(made in heaven).And most of us are in between-today its good,and tomorrow you wish you had married Peggy,or Makomere,what ever the case may be.
Also be aware of false marriage counselors .Case in point are those who say that emotional abuse is worse than physical.Really!,go find out from Wangechi,if this is true.Any abuse if bad from someone who purport to love,respect,and care for you.Dont take it.
And when it comes to marriage matters,trust me, no amount of prayers will make right an abusive partner.Be very careful when you seek counsel for you male pastor.As you might know, agood number have taken advantage of the vulnerability of their congregants…Basically wolfs in sheeps skins.As I always say, If you love yourself,get out of the situation/person that is giving you grief,and misery before it gets to “hacking”.My two cents keep change.
