A woman in Bungoma having an illicit affair with a married man ended up biting his testicles off after the man failed to give her a promised amount of money.
31-year-old Edwin Mukhwana in Webuye West Constituency, Bungoma County was admitted in hospital after part of his scrotum was bitten off by his lover last week.
Edwin allegedly had leased his land to a sugarcane farmer, and “had a lot of money with him” when he went to visit his girlfriend at around 4 pm but gave her a meager amount.
Lugusi Location Chief Samuel Neyombe confirmed the incident saying the two were in a heated argument after that which led to her biting off her testicles.
“The friend of Mukhwana’s girlfriend confined his head using her arms, while the victim’s lover embarked on biting his testicles. The two intended to robe the victim of his money,” Chief Neyombe told eDaily.
Stay faithful
Neighbours who responded to Mukhwana’s screams of pain rushed him Lugusi Dispensary for treatment. The clinic’s lead doctor, Emmanuel Mwanja, said they managed to contain the bleeding.
“The victim was bitten on his scrotum, though his testicles remained intact. We have managed to stitch him, and he is now in a stable condition. He, however, remains weak. We decided to refer him to Webuye Hospital for advanced treatment,” said Mwanja.
Mukhwana’s girlfriend was arrested but her friend managed to escape and is still on the run. Amused locals urged married people to stay faithful to their partners to avoid such incidents.
“If you are married, kindly remain faithful to your spouse. Had Mukhwana been faithful, this predicament wouldn’t have befallen him,” a female Lugasi resident said.
“I urge men in Lugusi to wisely use the shambas they own. Proceeds from the use or leasing of such land should go to beneficial projects,” said Neyombe.
