Drama in Kenya as woman destroys husband’s car over alleged cheating

The woman, Joyce Kandie, had gone to the house of her estranged husband, a Kenya Power officer named Peter Murunga, to seek his help as their baby was sick. When she found that he had not gone to work but was having a good time with another woman, Kandie went mad. .

She broke the car windows of his Landrover and punctured the tires with a nail. She claims, Murunga has been a deadbeat father ever since they separated in Nov., 2015 when he started living with the other woman identified as Susan Roki.

She further claimed Murunga had often attacked her and left her with a broken tooth. In an interview, she said: “Another woman eloped with my husband since last year. He never comes home, he never gives me money for food and upkeep.

When I request for money to take the child to hospital from my husband, he refuses. He has been summoned several times by children’s rights authorities, but he ignores it. I think the woman has used black magic charms on him. .

The kind of house I am currently living in is in a bad state! There are snakes around, and the sanitation is deplorable! The pit latrines are full to the brim, and there’s no tap water. I want a divorce. He has been threatening to kill me. .

He further claims I am not in his “class”. He made his son who has completed secondary education to share a room with my daughter who is in Form One; and when I complained, he says I am illiterate and all I can think of is sex.

He has accused me of sleeping with two of his workmates. He was a clerk before, when I used to work. He has fleeced me of my money. I took bank loans to bankroll his lifestyle. .

Now that I am unemployed and penniless he doesn’t think I am fit enough to be his wife. He’s been beating me senseless. I lost one of my teeth as result of his constant battery.

I had gone to the room he’s rented for the other woman to ask for food and upkeep money. Instead of giving me money or telling me he does not have, he rained blows and kicks on me. And when I saw he was overpowering me I decided to destroy his vehicle.”
