A woman was on Friday charged with assaulting her friend by biting her lip after discovering she was having an affair with her boyfriend in Kenya. Esther Waithera was accused that on June 24 at Embakasi area in Nairobi, she beat Lucy Mbadi and injured her body. Police said the suspect and the complainant are friends and also run a grocery business together. On the said day, the accused went to open her business where they both operate and she was gloomy. Mbadi asked her if she had a problem and she reluctantly asked why Mbadi had snatched her boyfriend. A quarrel ensued but they later calmed down and continued with selling fruits. Police said Waithera, while seated, started accusing the complainant had blocked her way. "She pulled her down and started beating her on the face." "The accused also scratched her face and went on to bite her friend's lower lip warning her never to kiss her boyfriend again," the police said. Mbadi was rescued by good Samaritans who came to separate the two and rushed the complainant to a nearby clinic. She was treated and later reported the case after which investigations were launched leading to the arrest of the accused. Waithera denied the charges before chief magistrate Heston Nyaga and prayed for lenient cash bail. Nyaga released her on a cash bail of Sh10,000. The case will be heard on October 30. | |||||||||
