A Kenyan police officer has narrated how his life changed permanently after an acid attack by his wife in September 2013.
Dan Shisia Matakaya, a police constable in Industrial Area, Nairobi says he arrived home from work before taking dinner and retiring to bed.
His wife welcomed him home as usual and served him supper without showing any signs of resentment.
Moments after getting to bed, his wife poured sulphuric acid on his face, leaving him in pain.
He quickly got out of bed in an attempt to clean his face but his heartless wife had already set a trap for him to be electrocuted. She left the house and surrendered to police two days later.
“Two minutes after going to bed, my wife poured sulfuric acid on my face. I stepped out of bed only to be electrocuted,” the former officer says in an interview with Hot 96 FM.
The scorching acid badly burnt his face leaving him blind and with a deformed face. Neighbors who heard him scream rushed him to the hospital for treatment.
“I was airlifted to Kenyatta National Hospital but doctors could not save my eyesight,” the victim says.
“My wife did this to me. I met her in court two years ago. All she said was she doesn't know why she did it. She was lied to. I forgave her. I let her go,” Dan says.
Matakaya is currently based at Industrial Area, Nairobi and has already learned braille and other basic skills that help him survive.
He is also undertaking a course in Counseling Psychology to help him heal from the incident.

This guy's wife needs LYNCHING. What's her Name and Where does she Leave?😬
Wow this is worse that disconnecting a transformer
Iwould have very hard time forgiving her even if I were partly to blame.
This is a beastly act. Forgiving the lady was a good thing too because it came from the man himself. Lately we have seen these kind of things from both ends, men and women. If you are tired of your partner, just walk away. Hata kama una hasila kiasi gani, mwache mwana wa wenyewe akajitafutie mwingine.
What a heartless beast,I just ask one question to this killer monster, what if this was your son? what if was your grandson, your brother, your uncle, name them,you need to lot in jail,I am so upset when I see this poor guy that you messed up his life.
No one should trust this women. Infarct every time you hear your wife getting up at night, you should not sleep until it's all clear that, she returns and starts snoring. Better be safe than sorry.
@wasiwasi,you might as well live by yourself then...
Tit for tat.All i can say is that she needs to b poured with acid too n somebody shouldn't say she should b forgiven.She took eyesight away from an innocent husband.Am a believer u kill or rape minor older folks or vulnerable pple ur to die the same day.Thats the only way this kind of bullcrap can b reduced?Dont protect the evil doers
No one should trust the men either.Ati you cannot wake up to go to the bathroom .Unless you have done something wrong you have nothing to worry about.Jokes aside this crazy woman should be in jail or as someone suggested lynched publicly
MK, then where does it stop or where do we draw the line? The brother opted to take the high road and for that we should be grateful. Lovely spirit and this goes for his family as many would be looking for revenge. It's really sad that someone should be this evil, lakini retaliation can and should never be the way.
All I can say I don't what the fella did to deserve that. There's two sides to every story, so leaving my comments to.myself coz I know some men are evil too, cold hearted beasts too , sooo.......
FG2, I concur.
It's beyond words what this woman did, you just don't maim a person this way no-matter what.
BUT there's also a trend where these male cops have been shooting women ?ovioovio? ....in love triangles, love-gone-sour... and other unexplained circumstances, which might heighten some women's sense of defense -- me thinks there is a lot more going on with these cops.

Jamani unyama..jealousy takes some to a very dark place. Sister, was this the only option left? Awful.
