The man narrated to journalists how, while sleeping in the house at around 11am, his girlfriend had arrived home after spending Saturday night out and commanded him to leave the house.

He defied her directive as she insisted that she was fed up with him and he must vacate the house.

The two quarreled for minutes before everything cooled down.

Moments later, the unsuspecting Mr Kithaka went to bed and continued to sleep.  The woman then took a knife and started cutting his genitals.

After the attack, the woman, who is a rice farmer in the area escaped leaving Mr Kithaka bleeding profusely.
