Woman Remanded In Prison For Threatening To Beat Dad Over Love Affair

A 52-year-old lady accused of threatening to beat her dad over a love affair had her bond canceled and surrendered for a week after she blatantly refused to apologize for her behaviour in a Nyeri court.

Esther Muthoni, who was on Sh10,000 money bail, was charged with threatening to beat her elderly dad, Paul Kimani, for refusing to allow her to continue living with her suitor in her father’s home in Muthinga village, Tetu Constituency, Nyeri.

Muthoni had allegedly issued the threats to her father after he expressed displeasure with the arrangement and ordered her to vacate and move to another parcel of land he had allocated her.

THREATS

It was at that time that the accused is said to have become hostile threatening to clobber him maintaining she had a right to stay in the homestead as well as continue with the living arrangement with her partner.

The accused, a mother to two grownups, is said to have told her father to instead take his place and become the boyfriend if he was not pleased with his presence in the compound or their affair.

Muthoni had been released on bond terms last week when she was brought before Chief Magistrate, Wendy Kagendo, who asked her to plead for forgiveness as well as be meeting her partner elsewhere.

UNAPOLOGETIC

The accused however remained adamant insisting she would continue staying with her suitor regardless of father’s reservations.

Her father had maintained that she was old enough to continue living with parents.

“I am the one who built the room she is residing in and I no longer want her on my property,” upheld Kimani.

The matter will be mentioned on July 31, this year.
