A Kuria woman whose hand was chopped off by her violent husband has refused to leave hospital for fear of more attacks by her in-laws. Maria Rioba lost her left hand but surgeons at St Joseph Mission Hospital, Migori town, saved the right one. Her husband Musa Matiko Gisiri from Tarang’anya village assaulted her the night of January 18, and fled towards Tanzania. Gisiri, who occasionally visits his home, has not been arrested, despite the mother of nine reporting the attack at Kehancha police station. “I need to have him answer before a court why he chose to make me disabled,” Rioba said.
