Police in Kenya, Mombasa County, are searching for a woman said to have stabbed her ex-boyfriend on the neck and escaped after he found her with her new lover.

According to Chaani location Chief Ben Baraza, the man had visited his ex-lover unannounced on Sunday, only to find her in the company of her new flame.

After the man arrived at her house, the lady reportedly picked up a knife and stabbed him, leaving him with a severe injury.

The man bled heavily and passed out before neighbours arrived and rushed him to the hospital.

“After the incident, the woman and her lover locked the house and escaped,” noted Baraza, adding that the two are currently at large.

The man is currently admitted at Chaani hospital.
