Ruai pig farmer nearly loses life after ambush by another man at woman's house

A pig farmer in Ruai Sub-County, Nairobi, nearly lost his life after another man attacked him while he was at a woman’s house.

George Mbugua, alias Gaddafi, is accused of causing grievous bodily harm to David Komu on 6 April in the Kamulu area of Ruai.

George Murira Mbugua, alias Gaddafi, caused grievous harm to David Komu on April 6 at Kamulu township in Ruai Sub-County.

On the stated day, Komu was having a few drinks at a pub within the Kamulu area when he was joined by a lady, whom he later paid for her bills before she invited him to her house.

They both went to her house, but before having a good time together, the door was knocked on, and the accused stormed inside.

For reasons best known to him, the accused pounced on the complainant by hitting him with a rungu on his legs, hands and head. The complainant lost consciousness, which he regained at a Nairobi hospital two days later. His brain was swollen, with the scan indicating that he had blood clots in his head.

He was treated, and the woman whom he had accompanied to her house also helped the authorities in recounting what transpired that evening since the complainant could not remember anything after the attack.

The lady also sustained injuries while rescuing the complainant.

He has since denied the accusations, leading to his release on a cash bail of Sh 100,000 with a bond of a similar amount.

In another court, a businesswoman from Kariobangi has accused a man she was in a relationship with of holding her hostage in her own home and threatening to kill her.

Mary Wangui Mueni told the court that the man, who was her lover, turned against her after she asked him to contribute towards household expenses.

She had invited him to live with her as a couple, expecting him to help ease her financial burden.

Joseph Wangira Wabuiri admitted before Principal Magistrate Gilbert Shikwe at the Makadara Law Courts that he threatened to kill Mueni and then take his own life on 17 May at Kariobangi North Estate.

He also admitted to threatening to do something that “would shock the world”.

In court, Wabuiri claimed he made the threats after allegedly finding Mueni with another man inside the house.
