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.
