A man found himself in trouble with his brothers in-law when he beat up his wife after she caught him in bed with another woman.
Caleb Kase had on Wednesday night brought his lover to his matrimonial home in Mwangaza area, Tana River County.
Neighbours say this had become a habit because his wife, a teacher, works away from the county.
On that evening, his wife, who had come visiting earlier in the day, decided to linger at her parents’ home till late at night, hoping to catch her husband in the act.
Her sister had informed her about his philandering ways.
At about 11pm, she calmly knocked on the door and asked her husband to open.
There was commotion in the house for a while before the man opened the door to welcome his wife.
UNUSUAL WELCOME
The welcome was however unusual. Kase first demanded to know where the wife had come from at that hour of the night. The answer he got was not satisfactory and he started leveling all manner of allegations against his wife who remained calm.
“You cannot tell me you came from Kilifi, left your job to come see your parents till this hour of the night, and I your husband does not know about your arrival here. You came to meet your boyfriend and have been with him hidden somewhere till now,” he claimed.
He kept raising his voice, making one allegation after another. His wife went straight to bed and lay quietly.
The commotion attracted many of their neighbours.
Mr Kase kept shouting at the wife, demanding she goes back to where she had come from. That is when the wife told him in Pokomo; “Muavye e bie mvungu tafadhali asenafwa (get her from under the bed, she might die there).”
