The mother of five who sustained severe burns on the left side of her face and hand, was initially taken to a local hospital and later transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital for specialised treatment.

She said her only crime was that she had gone to follow up on complaints by her four-and-half-year-old daughter that she had been beaten up by the neibhour’s 10-year-old boy.

“When I knocked on the door and called out my neibghour, the door was opened and I was dragged inside. The woman then poured hot water on my face as she repeatedly hit me on the head with an object, which looked like a panga,” she said.
