 In a hurry? Here’s a quick summary…

• An 18-year-old pregnant girl from Mbiuni is hospitalized after being brutally attacked by her boyfriend.

• Authorities are searching for the suspect, who remains at large.

An 18-year-old girl from Mbiuni in Mwala Subcounty is receiving treatment at Machakos Level 5 Hospital after a brutal attack by her 22-year-old boyfriend, Brian Waita. 

Ndanu, who is 23 weeks pregnant, sustained deep cuts to her neck and a broken arm in the violent assault.

The incident took place after what seemed like a normal day. Ndanu recounted that the couple had lunch together before Waita left, saying he was going to fetch a donkey for the market. 

Upon his return, he washed his shirt while Ndanu rested. Suddenly, she found herself on the floor, bleeding from a vicious attack to her neck and arm.

In shock and pain, she crawled to the bed and managed to call a neighbor for help after Waita fled, locking her inside the house. 

A local man climbed through the roof and unlocked the door, allowing her to be rescued.

By the time police arrived, Ndanu had already been rushed to Masii Level 3 Hospital, where she received initial treatment before being transferred to Machakos Level 5 Hospital for specialized care.
