Photos have emerged of a businesswoman who was brutally attacked by her ex-husband in Siaya County, days after leaving him and returning to her parents' home.
The horrific incident left her with serious injuries to several parts of her body. The suspect reportedly fled immediately after the attack, prompting police to launch a search for him.
Speaking from her hospital bed, Pauline narrated how the attacker approached her from behind, leaving her with little chance to defend herself.
She said she could not clearly see his face but remembered that he was wearing a black shirt.
She further explained that she screamed for help as the man repeatedly struck her with the machete, but he allegedly continued attacking her despite her cries.
Their relationship reportedly deteriorated, forcing her to leave their shared home in Seme, Kisumu County, in October 2025.
She then returned to her parents' home in Ligega, hoping to find peace and safety away from the troubled relationship.
According to Pauline, her parents had tried to resolve the dispute by inviting her ex-husband for a discussion, but he allegedly refused to attend.
She claimed that the harassment continued even after she moved out. The man allegedly visited her workplace several times, making her life difficult and leaving her feeling unsafe.
Pauline also revealed that she had reported his alleged threats and intimidating behaviour to the police before the attack.
Police officers in Ukwala have launched investigations into the incident, while the suspect remains at large.
The attack has sparked fresh concerns about domestic violence and the safety of women, with many Kenyans expressing sympathy for Pauline and calling for swift action against the alleged perpetrator.
