Kenyan Man Who Battered Expectant Wife Almost to Death Arrested

Kenyan Man Who Battered Expectant Wife Almost to Death Arrested

A man who beat up his pregnant wife and almost killed her for allegedly failing to cook food for him by the time he got home has been arrested.

The man, identified as Naftali Luzuli, rained blows and kicks on his wife after discovering she hadn’t purchased food with the Sh500 he had given her before leaving home.

29-year-old Valerie Masibo is currently nursing serious injuries at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret. 

Luzuli was arrested after photos showing the victim badly injured on her face were widely circulated on social media with users demanding for arrest of the suspect.

“The suspect is in our custody and he will face assault charges once the medical report on the victim is released,”  Eldoret South police boss Wilson Abduba said adding the victim will be arraigned in court on Monday.

The incident comes a week after another man was videotaped battering his wife in Makueni County, sparking outrage from Kenyans online. The man, David Nzomo, has since been handed a 12-year jail term after pleading guilty to assaulting his wife, Winfred Mwende.

This man should be jailed for life,how can you beat up a pregnant woman until her face looks like that of a zombie, justice must be served to this kind of hapless men who beat up their wives like this, Nzomo is waiting for you in Kamiti the two of you can comfort each other there.Na iwe funzo kwa wenye wako na tabia kama hii.

Inaonekana ya kwamba mtu huyu aliyempiga mkewe ni "mkristo." Dini hii inamfanya mwanamume kufikiri ya kwamba mke ni mtumishi wake. Agano jipya (new testamen) linasema mke amtii (obey) mume wake! Na mume ampende mkewe.

Kupenda na kutii si sawasawa.

Imara! How about our Kenyan sisters who come Back in Coffins from Dubai (having been Raped, Beaten, Thrown from High rise Buildings, Murdered, and even Hanged)? Are the Culprits/ Perpetraters Christians or Muslims? How about to Mention but a Few: the 8/7 in Kenya, 911 in US, WestGate in Kenya?

I hardly doubt if this man would have done same to his mother.I agree with Imara.It is his view and expectations of his wife that resulted in the punishment.The man had a slave not wife.Some times slave revolt with catastrophic results.The man in lucky to be alive.There was a popular musician from luyha nation,eons ago by the name of George Mukabi.He did to his "Slave" what this brute did.He was found cut in peaces kama nyama ya kuchoma.
Now i dont recommend taking law into your hand unless its in self defense.I think if idefend my sister from further harm, in my view its "Self Defense".How could it not be...wheels of justice are too slow,and corrupt.iwill dispense my own justice,and face the law later.

Tafadhali how can we get these ladies number... we are willing to donate some money so she doesn't have to worry... we are also stating if we get a hold of her we can do a baby shower to show her love and care and that there is still good people out there....

Let us do cloud funding for these victim ... the pain is evident ...unbelievable what a monster of a husband can do to take every self esteem of a woman he calls wife.... shame ! Innocent baby and a beautiful woman disfigured like these... hurts to imagine..

Enjoy your behind, while behind bars young man. Kamiti belongs to such... no justification for your actions

@ Mgeni wa Kwanza (Guest1). Umesema kweli. Ningependa ujue ya kwamba Wakristo na Waislamu wote ni wa baba mmoja. Ndiyo sababu mila zao na lugha zao ni karibu sawa.

Ukijifunza lugha ya Kihebrania (Hebrew)na pia ujifunze lugha ya Kiarabu, utaona ya kwamba lugha hizi ziko karibu sana. Ni sawa na kujifunza Kiembu na Kimbere au Kibukusu na Kitachoni.
