He claimed the neighbors rushed the survivor to Migori Level Four Hospital, where he is still being treated while the suspect is in police custody.
“We are yet to establish the motives behind the attack, but preliminary investigations have established that the woman attacked her husband because she heard that he was planning to marry a second wife,” the chief added.
