Beautiful Photos of Mombasa Teacher Who Was Stabbed by Her Ex-Husband After Rejecting His Advances

Photos have emerged of a secondary school teacher who survived a horrific attack by her former partner after refusing his advances.

The woman was stabbed three times in the back and suffered severe injuries that required emergency surgery.Elizabeth Shigari Bana, a teacher at Changamwe Secondary School in Mombasa, was attacked by her former lover, Hannington Muthoka, a former employee of KCB Bank.

The incident took place in Port Reitz, Changamwe, Mombasa County. Muthoka was later found guilty of attempting to murder Bana, but the court is yet to determine his sentence.

His sentencing has been postponed after his defence team questioned an affidavit submitted by Bana’s side.

Senior Resident Magistrate David O. Odhiambo directed both parties to review the document before the court makes a decision.

During the trial, the court heard that Muthoka picked up Bana, saying he wanted to discuss their relationship.

The pair reportedly went shopping before heading to a club in Bamburi, where Muthoka allegedly attempted to persuade her to resume their romance.Bana rejected his advances and asked him to take her home to Mikindani.

However, Muthoka allegedly drove in a different direction and took her to an isolated location in Port Reitz, where he demanded sex.

After refusing his demand, Bana reportedly tried to run away. Muthoka allegedly pursued her, caught up with her and stabbed her three times in the back.

Two men who witnessed the incident rushed to her rescue and found her bleeding heavily, with part of the knife still lodged in her body.

She was initially rushed to Port Reitz Hospital before being transferred to Aga Khan Hospital, where she received treatment in the Intensive Care Unit and underwent emergency surgery.

Medical evidence presented in court revealed that the knife had pierced her left lung, causing it to collapse. Her injuries were classified as maim.

In his defence, Muthoka denied intending to kill Bana, claiming she had injured herself during a struggle as he tried to disarm her.He also presented photographs, travel documents, mobile money receipts and WhatsApp messages to support his account.

However, the magistrate dismissed his explanation, ruling that the prosecution had proved the attempted murder charge beyond reasonable doubt.

The court is expected to address the dispute over the affidavit before proceeding with sentencing.
