On Tuesday evening, a disturbing incident occurred at St. Paul's Gulf Academy in Bondo, where a primary school teacher was allegedly attacked by her husband.
Everline Akinyi Otieno, a 25-year-old teacher, was attacked in class in front of her pupils, leaving her with severe knife wounds.
According to Everline, her husband, Kevin Otieno Ochieng, entered the classroom and demanded her phone, which she handed over to him before he left.
However, he returned and started beating her, reportedly using kicks and blows before drawing out a knife.
Everline told Ramogi FM that her husband stabbed her on the neck and left cheek as children screamed for help.
The school Director, Indere Ambajo, confirmed the attack, stating that the man tried to flee but was waylaid by an angry mob.
Police intervened to save him from the crowd, which was baying for his blood.
Kevin Otieno Ochieng was arrested and taken to Bondo Police Station but was released under unclear circumstances.
Everline was rushed to Bondo sub-county hospital for treatment and has since revealed that her husband had previously threatened to kill her on several occasions due to their ongoing domestic wrangles.
