However, Njeri told senior principal magistrate Angelo Kithinji that the complainant was no longer her husband as she had left him because she could not stand him and his ‘oversized’ manhood.

She told the court that she had warned Nyabere not to visit her house again because his manhood ‘is too big for any woman’.

In her words ;

“I have repeatedly told him that I don’t want him because I can’t stand him but he keeps coming back and I have reported him to the police for it.

I have more than 20 (Occurrence Book) entry records against him but he rushes to the police to file counterclaims against me and no action has ever been taken. I can show them”.

It was gathered that the complainant reportedly arrived at her house at around 10pm on the fateful day only to find her with another man but she allegedly declined to open the door despite her persistent knocking.

Nyambere was said to have then opened a window only for her to splash a corrosive substance on his face leaving his face disfigured.

According to Tuko, Njeri, who was arrested the following day, pleaded with the court for lenient bail and bond terms and was released on Sh10,000 (K2000) cash bail.
