An irate teenager, after receiving word on the street about her mother’s love affair decided to take matters on his own hands.
The middle-aged alleged lover is nursing injuries at Bondo sub-county hospital in Siaya County after being attacked by the teenager after accusations of “spoiling” his mother.
The teenager, David Omondi, who is now in police custody reportedly gave his mother’s lover a dog’s beating in Bondo town injuring him in the process.
Local administrator Juma Abuko confirmed the incident.
“He pounced on the man and started beating him up like a thief before passers-by saved him and took him to hospital,” Abuko said. Police arrested Mr Omondi who now faces assault charges.
The young man is said to have accosted the said lover, kicked him in the chest, while demanding to know why he was spoiling his mother.
A witness present at the scene said the teenager appeared to have been angered that the man was dating his mother who is still married to his father.
“It is a taboo here for people to talk about your mother’s affairs in your presence. The teenage just lost his cool given his mother had become the talk of the village,” said the witness.
