A 36-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband in Siaya County.

Police said the woman, identified as Sharon Achieng, was taken into custody after she went to report an assault case.

According to Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kimaiyo, the matter was reported at Bondo police station.

"She was arrested for allegedly assaulting her husband following a domestic squabble at their home in Asembo," Kimaiyo said.

Her 47-year-old husband Fredrick Omondi Miruka, a businessman in Bondo town, arrived at the station on a bodaboda while bleeding profusely.

Kimaiyo added that the husband had a deep cut on the shoulder and was literally supporting the affected limb with his other hand.

"Considering the extent of injuries that the man had suffered, the bodaboda rider was advised to rush him to Bondo sub-county hospital.

Kimaiyo stated that at the time of the visit at the hospital, Omondi was being prepared for operation at the theatre.  

Meanwhile, his wife (turned suspect) was detained at the station awaiting further police action.
