Man di3s after wife allegedly doused him with acid

A family in Kaptembwo, Nakuru is m0urning after their patriarch was doused in acid by his wife.

Elijah Matoke Maina, 52, was reportedly att@cked by his second wife Ruth Jelang’at on December 5, 2024, at around 6 am in a suspected domestic dispute.

Lilian Magomera, a neighbor, explained that on the fateful morning, they were woken up by Matoke’s distress call.

“I found him on the couch crying saying he was dy!ng. Though he had a dark complexion, he had turned pink. His two children told me that acid had been poured on him,” said Magomera.

The neighbours rushed Matoke to Nakuru Level Five Hospital where he succumbed to internal and external burns from the acid.

Bernard Angwenyi, the deceased’s brother said that he when arrived at the hospital he found him in p@in but Jelang’at immediately left.

“When my brother informed me what had happened, I called Kaptembwo Police Station. When she presented herself there, she was arrested. We then went to the crime scene with the police,” said Angwenyi.

He claimed that before she surrendered to the police, Jelang’at returned to the house where she took Matoke’s phone and some of his documents.

“She made three attempts to withdraw money from Matoke’s phone using the wrong PIN and the account was blocked. We also established that two title deeds were missing,” he claimed.

Angwenyi alleged that the att@ck on Matoke was premeditated and should be treated as attempted murder.

He claimed that this was not the first Jelang’at had attacked Matoke.

“This was a planned att@ck on my brother. They did not need or use acid in the household. She had obtained it, kept it in the house, and poured it on Matoke at his vulnerable moment,” he claimed.

Clarice Mughoi, the deceased’s firstborn said that at the hospital, her father confided in them that their stepmother woke up at around 5 am and started perusing through his documents while shouting at him.

“He told us that she left the bedroom and returned with a jerrican which he thought had water. It wasn’t until it was poured on his face that he realized it was a corrosive substance,” claimed Mughoi.

She alleged that Jelang’at was abusive and had blocked the first wife’s children from accessing their father.
