Siaya Wife Arrested for Alleged Violence After Visiting Police Station to Report Hubby

 

A man assulted by his wife in Siaya

A 36-year-old woman from Siaya County has been arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband. The injured husband was rushed to the nearby hospital for treatment.  According to Citizen Digital, it all began when the woman, identified as Sharon Achieng, went to Bondo Police Station to report an assault case. How did the case turn against wife? Achieng sought the police officer's intervention, believing they would buy her story and arrest her husband.  However, things changed dramatically when she turned from a complainant to a suspect and was taken into custody. The tide turned when her husband, Fredrick Omondi Miruka, arrived at the station on a bodaboda while bleeding profusely. "She was arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband following a domestic squabble at their home in Asembo," Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kimaiyo said. What's the state of her husband? Kimaiyo explained that the 47-year-old had a deep cut on the shoulder and was supporting the affected limb with his other hand. Based on his injuries, police officers figured he was a victim of assault rather than the perpetrator. "Considering the extent of injuries that the man had suffered, the bodaboda rider was advised to rush him to Bondo sub-county hospital," Kimaiyo added.  As of the time this report was filed, the injured businessman had been taken to the theatre for an operation. Achieng, on the other hand, had been detained as police launched investigations into the matter.
