Maid from hell assaults 1-year-old child, admitted in Bungoma hospital

A maid in Bungoma allegedly assaulted a one-year-old child who is now amitted in Bungoma Referral hospital.

Jenta Zawadi was admitted to the facility on Monday with severe injuries all over her body and private parts.

Neighbours who reportedly heard the child wailing are the ones who took her to the hospital. The maid who had fled from the scene has since been arrested.

Irene Atieno, a social worker at the hospital, said they received the child at midday from a good samaritan named Easter.

“The child had burns on her back, teeth bites on her stomach and blood was oozing from her private parts,” Ms. Atieno said.

However, the one-year-old is responding well to treatment.

Sharon Shiundia, the mother of the child said that she was away during the incident.

Sharon comes from Ndengelwa area in Kanduyi, but is a student in Nairobi so had asked a friend to take care of the child from September last year.

“My friend had told me she had gone for a job in Mombasa but would call often to inquire how the child was fairing on with the maid,” Citizen Digital reports.

The police are investigating the matter and the suspect will be arraigned in court.
