A woman in Nairobi is accused of brutally assaulting her 12-year-old daughter by pouring boiling water on her and shaving parts of her head with a kitchen knife.
The girl now bears severe wounds that have kept her out of school.
But what would driver her to that extent?
“I was outside at night. I got home late and my mother started to beat me up. She boiled water and poured it on me. She took a knife and cut my hair,” she said.
According to the minor, she escaped from the house and showed the wounds to one of the neighbours after which her father and other relatives were called to pick her up and take her for medical attention.
“I was called and went to the hospital,” said her father.
