A 31 year old man is recuperating in hospital after a woman suspected to be his lover chopped off his genitals.
The man was bleeding profusely when he was rushed to Gender Recovery Centre at the Nakuru branch of Nairobi Women’s Hospital on Monday.
According to some media reports, the woman who carried out the heinous act was a sex worker and the two had disagreed on the amount to be paid.
The man’s mother said her son lived in Free Area estate with his grandmother.
“My sister called me at around 4pm and told me he had been attacked with a knife and his private parts had been chopped off,” the mother said.
“His neighbours said he came out of the house screaming for help, saying his private parts had been chopped off. My son is not married and he lives with his grandmother in Free Area Estate. He was still living there when the incident occurred,” she said.
Police have launched investigations into the incident and are pursuing the attacker.
