A man operating along the Kisumu–Busia Highway has been left in visible pain after allegedly being scalded with hot water by his wife, a Samia actress popularly known as Mercy Odoyo. According to reports, the incident occurred after Mercy reportedly caught her husband chatting with one of her colleagues.
A photo circulating online shows the driver writhing in pain, highlighting the severity of the attack and raising concerns about domestic violence. Eyewitnesses say the husband sustained burns on his upper body, prompting urgent calls for medical attention.
The shocking incident has reignited conversations about gender-based violence, spousal disputes, and the responsibilities of both partners in addressing conflicts without resorting to physical harm. Local authorities have yet to confirm any arrests or legal action, but social media users have condemned the act and demanded accountability.
The case underscores the urgent need for awareness, conflict resolution, and protective measures to ensure that domestic disagreements do not escalate into life-threatening violence.
