A 35-year-old-man from Kyuso in Kitui has pleaded guilty to brutally attacking his wife with an axe and leaving her for dead. Kyuso police commander Charles Machinji said Makau Musya was put on a holding charge because of the wife's condition. He said the police had to charge Musya after the expiry of the days the court had allowed them to hold him. The police were granted court orders to hold him for seven days, pending the conclusion of investigations. The prosecution urged the court to suspend his sentencing for seven days pending the fate of the wife.
