Husband’s bitter dose of revenge for cheating wife

By JOSEPH MUCHIRI

A man recently shocked the residents of a village in Kirinyaga District when he devised an ingenious, albeit unethical means of punishing his unfaithful wife.

Assisted by a group of men, the man successfully trapped his wife while she was in bed with another man and, instead of springing at them with a machete, he made love to her in public as disbelieving members of the public watched.

The man who is in his early 40s works as a loader at the port of Mombasa. He had decided to visit home without informing his wife after learnng that she used to bring another man to his house during the day when she would be alone at home.

Taxi

On that day when he reached the nearest town, he hired a taxi with tinted windows and had it parked near his house but did not come out.

He had picked three more men who sat at the back of the taxi so that they could come to his aid if the man inside his house overpowered him.

As he had been told, it did not take long before his wife appeared in the company of a rich pig farmer from the nearby ridge.

After waiting long enough to give the two adequate time to delve into adultery, they went up to the house and unlocked the door using his key.

They found his wife and her lover in bed.

Upon the husband’s instruction, they tied the man with a rope and locked him inside the boot of the taxi.

The man then took his wife outside where a crowd of anxious onlookers had already gathered to see what would happen to the sinning duo.

He first ordered the children to leave before he removed his clothes and proceeded to put on a condom.

Frightened

When people asked what he planned to do, he said: "Tit for tat is a fair game. This woman has embarrassed me enough and now it is my turn to give her a dose of her own medicine."

He wrestled his frightened wife to lie on the ground and did the unthinkable as the crowd watched in utter astonishment and disbelief.

Women who were embarrassed by the incident tried to separate the two but some men stopped them.

"This adulterous woman must be taught a lesson she will never forget. She will also become a lesson to others," said a man rumoured to be equally cuckolded.

He stopped for a while to beat his wife as he regained more strength before going back to it with the crowd that had come from far pushing forward to see what was going on.

Ran

His wife was so embarrassed that after he released her, she ran into the house, wore her clothes and has since not been seen.

The men then turned to the man they had locked up in the taxi boot and gave him the beating of his lifetime.
