The police report detailed that the woman in anger pounced on the man and bit off his left ear before it fell to the ground.

Seeing his ear on the ground, Karanja picked it up and carefully carried it in a paper bag to the hospital for treatment.

The man was told to seek further treatment at another hospital in Eastland, where he was told that the ear was utterly damaged and needed plastic surgery after three months of treatment.

Meeting to solve domestic trouble

The couple had earlier in the day organised a meeting at a local joint to discuss their differences after Karanja accused her of infidelity.

The two could not resolve their fight, and Ochero opted to call okada to take her home in Kawangware. The decision by Karanja to hand her KSh 100 (N365) note as transport made matters worse.
