She was attacked by her lover in their rented home at Emali township, Makueni County. Senior Resident Magistrate Gerals Mutiso found Kiivuva guikding for attemopted murder of Ms Muendi at the Makindu court on Wednesday.
“I have considered the accused’s mitigation that he is a father of three children, a husband of an epileptic wife and a son of a diabetic mother,” said Mr Mutiso.
“I have also considered the victim’s impact report, which indicates that the victim (compliant) is not totally dependent on her mother to wash her, dress her and cook for her. “The violence meted out by you, the accused, upon a helpless woman in cold blood is mind-boggling”
In his defence, he stated that Ms Muendi had been unfaithful to him although she had previously attempted to end thing with him. Now making more people suffer in the process, the judge decided to give him life in prison and paying off victim’s hospital bills.
