Dennis Mumo’s lawyer asked the court to sentence his wife to 100 lashes to prevent further ‘misunderstandings’
A jealous husband has admitted to supergluing his wife’s vagina shut because he believed she was having four affairs and wanted to save his marriage.
Dennis Mumo of Kitui, Kenya reportedly told police that he found social media messages his wife had been sending to the men. The messages were said to have included nude photos.
The Zambian Observer reported that Mumo claimed his wife would meet the men whenever he was out of town for work.
Mumo was accused of using superglue to seal his partner’s vagina shut before a business trip to Rwanda in early 2020, leaving her in pain and need of urgent medical attention.
The woman, who has not been identified in media reports, was unable to go to the toilet and was rushed to hospital.
According to The Gazelle News, he carried out the act because he still loved his wife and did not want to leave her.
Other reports suggested Mumo was assisted by a neighbour, who helped tie her up before fleeing the scene.
Mumo was arrested after news of the incident spread around his neighbourhood.
He reported confessed to the incident and claimed he only did so to save his marriage.
“I have to do this to save my wife and my marriage because I still love my wife very dearly and I will not want to lose her,” he said, according to reports.
Mumo told police he had evidence that his wife was having affairs with at least four men after looking at her sent and received messages.
Mumo faced numerous charges including domestic violence with assault, damaging his wife’s reproductive organs and putting her at risk of becoming infertile.
His wife was charged with adultery, which remains an offence in Kenya.
Mumo’s lawyer asked the court in Kitui to sentence his client’s wife to 100 lashes to prevent further “misunderstandings” between the couple.
