A 32-year-old man is receiving treatment after he was allegedly stabbed by his 23-year-old girlfriend during a disagreement at a house in Umoja III, Nairobi.
The incident was reported at Mowlem Police Station on Wednesday after the landlord, Margaret Bosibori, was alerted by tenants who noticed blood coming from one of the houses at about 9am.
The tenants opened the door and found blood on the floor, bed and table before alerting Bosibori.
The man, identified as Bramwel Simiyu, told police that he had disagreed with his girlfriend, Faith Kieti, during which he was allegedly stabbed on the neck, jaw and right shoulder.
Police who visited the scene found a blood-stained kitchen knife, believed to have been used in the incident, as well as a partially filled bottle of pesticide.
