Kenyan man asks police to take action against his first wife for being problematic and ‘badmouthing’ him to family and fellow church goers.
Eliud Kinyanjui, 65, tied his wife, Salome Wambui, 57, with a rope and pulled her for approximately five kilometres to the police station.
According to The Star witnesses said Kinyanjui returned home from church and started arguing with his wife before trying her up.
In her defense Wambui told the police that she was concerned for her children’s well being because her husband had married another woman and wanted to sell their land.
“We quarrelled because my husband has married another wife. We have 10 children and yet he is threatening to start selling our land,” Wambui said.
Kinyanjui said he married a second wife because Wambui had become problematic. “I have another wife who listens to me but I love my first family and our children and I will never neglect them, but the problem is this woman. She tells lies to in-laws and the church leadership asking them to excommunicate me, and does other things which breach peace at home. I want the police to take action against her,” he said.
