A middle-aged man is in critical condition at Machakos Level 5 Hospital following a violent incident believed to be linked to a suspected love triangle.
Eyewitnesses report that the man, a resident of Mbooni in Makueni County, was discovered in a compromising situation with another man’s wife inside the couple’s matrimonial home.
According to sources, the husband had just returned from work when he allegedly found the man in their bed, triggering a violent confrontation.
In a fit of rage, the husband is said to have assaulted the man, inflicting severe head injuries. Neighbours, alarmed by the noise, quickly notified police, who arrived at the scene to find the man unconscious.
He was rushed to Machakos Level 5 Hospital, where he remains in a coma and is awaiting emergency surgery.
Both the husband and his wife have since been taken into custody at Machakos Police Station. As of now, no formal charges have been filed, with authorities indicating that the progression of the case will depend on the victim’s medical outcome.
Should the injured man succumb to his injuries, the charges could be upgraded to murder.
