Man in court for stepping on wife's privates, kicking her stomach days after she lost pregnancy

A man in Nyamavilla, Embakasi, has denied stepping on his former partner's private parts. The two got into an argument over a mobile phone.

The woman, JTM, was recovering after having lost a pregnancy a few days before the fight.

She reported her ex-boyfriend John Gitau to the police following the October 12 incident. He is said to have dragged her into his vehicle and assaulted he, accusing her of entertaining other men.

JTM went into her house after ignoring Gitau's calls. The two had not communicated for close to three weeks. Gitau demanded that JTM returns the phone he had bought for her.

When he was unable to obtain the phone, he attacked her by biting her, stepping on her privates, and kicking her in the abdomen, despite the fact that she had just lost her pregnancy days before.

He wasn't finished with her yet, as he drove her through the estate, accusing her of conversing with other men, before returning her to the house. The case is set for trial next year.
