WATCH THE VIDEO HERE A family in Kaptembwo, Nakuru, is mourning after Elijah Matoke Maina, 52, was attacked by his second wife, Ruth Jelang’at, on December 5, 2024. The attack occurred around 6 am during a suspected domestic dispute, with Matoke being doused in acid. Neighbor Lilian Magomera found him crying in agony, his complexion changing from dark to pink, and his children confirmed the acid attack. Matoke was rushed to Nakuru Level Five Hospital but later died from the burns. His brother, Bernard Angwenyi, arrived at the hospital to find Matoke in pain, while Jelang’at fled, later attempting to withdraw money from his phone and taking important documents. Angwenyi believes the attack was premeditated, claiming Jelang’at had kept acid in the house for the purpose of the attack. Matoke’s daughter, Clarice Mughoi, stated that her father revealed Jelang’at had woken early, went through his documents, and returned with the acid, which she poured on him, leading to his tragic death.
