Violet Mukhwana and her child survived a gruesome attack on her by her husband of seven years. Her spouse was later arrested before being given a life sentence.
Speaking to local media, Ms Violet said she had already forgiven her husband and would like him to be part of their children’s upbringing. She also said that she misses him and since she has not recovered fully she is unable to fend for the kids.
“I want my husband released so that he can assist in bringing up our two children. I’m also expecting our third child and life has become a major struggle,” she told the officers at Naivasha Police Station.
On the day she was attacked, the 24-year-old had spent a fortnight at her native village and when her husband summoned her she obliged. She went to prepare a meal but before she could finish he spouse asked to go where he was.
It was at that time that he forced her to call her brother and inform him to pick her body. Minutes later he drew a sharp panga and attacked his wife, cutting her until she passed out. Her seven-year-old son wasn’t spared.
The man later surrendered to police and told them he had ‘killed his wife’.
However, the two survived the attack after spending two months in hospital where they underwent several surgeries.
