A Nairobi based lawyer is nursing serious injuries at the Kenyatta National Referral Hospital after he was stabbed by his girlfriend following a disagreement over a text message from another woman.

The victim identified as David Ochieng aged 33 was stabbed thrice; on the collar bone, abdomen and at the back in Umoja Innercore.

According to a police report on the Sunday night incident, the 24-year-old girl, Linda Okumu, who is a student at Eldoret university, stabbed the man after she saw a text message in his phone from another lady requesting financial assistance.

The victim was rushed to Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital at around 2am before he was referred to KNH where he is being attended to in serious condition.

The accused has since been arrested and is expected to be arraigned.
