Two sisters who were allegedly assaulted by the Ndichu brothers have broken their silence on the matter, calling for a speedy and thorough probe by the police.
Addressing the media on Wednesday, the two sisters; Stephanie and Cheryl Murgor noted that they were attending a wedding after party at Ole Sereni hotel, when they were allegedly assaulted by the two brothers; Eddie and Paul Ndichu.
According to Stephanie, she was strangled by the brothers and to date, she has difficulties when it comes to swallowing food.
“I was strangled and till today, I’m struggling to swallow, I’m having a hard time swallowing. I have also hard headaches cause of that,” she said.
On her part, Cheryl noted that one of the brothers bit her hand, while the other beat her head.

“In the video that you have all seen, you can see me screaming cause of them is biting my hand, while the other is hitting my head,” Cheryl divulged.
Through their lawyer and uncle Senior Counsel Philip Murgor, the sisters want a special team of investigators constituted to probe the incident, arguing that the Ndichu brothers are influential and could compromise the case.
A part from the alleged assault, Senior Counsel Murgor noted that charges relating to malicious destruction of property could also be leveled against the Ndichu brothers.

Earlier on, the two brothers through their company Wapi Pay released a statement indicating that the story of the incident as reported is distasteful and troubling.
Wapi Pay stated that any type of behaviour involving violence against women does not reflect the company's values nor does it reflect those of Eddie and Paul.
"Our understanding is that the allegations and video currently being shared on social media, albeit horrific and regrettable, do not depict the true events that transpired that night.
"To be clear, Paul and Eddie got involved in an attempt to neutralize a confrontation between two women and to defend themselves from certain aggressors," the statement read in part.
The two brothers have since stepped aside from their leadership positions at Wapi pay to allow for investigations into the incident.
