Macharia reportedly stormed Kanini’s house and attacked Tagei who was caught unawares.
“…On her way back, she met her ex-boyfriend Joseph Macharia, 33, who stopped her and demanded to know why she had hosted another man in her house. Kanini retorted that following their breakup, she had moved on with her life and the man inside her house had since taken her heart captive.
“This enraged Macharia so much that he stormed Kanini’s house with fury and attacked Tagei, who had already made himself comfortable. What followed was a confrontation that turned ugly, leaving Tagei with life threatening injuries,” DCI narrated.
