Flamboyant city lawyer Donald Kipkorir has triggered mixed reactions online after suggesting that members of the public should have beaten up the wife batterer.
Lawyer Kipkorir was responding to the story of the man in Eldoret who beat his wife to a pulp for failing to cook for him.
The perpetrator, Naftali Luzuli, pounced on his wife and beat her up almost to death because she had not used the Sh500 he supposedly left for her to buy food.
Pictures of the women with a swollen face have since gone viral eliciting mixed reactions from netizens including Mr Kipkorir.
Naftali Luzuli Of Eldoret who beat his beautiful wife to look like a bloodied pig should not be taken to Court … His neighbors in his estate in Eldoret should be allowed to beat him to a pulp … You can’t disfigure someone because of Kshs. 500/= …. Tragedy of dating losers! pic.twitter.com/qtD3Wiiq4R

I think sometimes being married is horribly overrated! If anyone is in abusive, in whatever form, it is better to leave than to be disfigured like this! ?

What is it abt food with our brothers from Western province. M’y free advice to thé men from Western province is this “eat something small while out. Dont go hme completely hungry”.

How is it now about men from Western Kenya? If today, your brother is accused of theft, does that make you a thief by relation?

If we go that route Donald, we might be classified as a banana republic. Let him face the full force of the law. 20 years behind bars won’t be bad for him.

Chokee . Did he not go that route, he could have gone to the elder to solve the 500 sh manenos. I agree the villages to descend on him

Generally, marriage is overrated

There is a desperation among these young men. Girls are taught to be’GOOD WIVES’in the bridal showers before marriage. Who teaches the husband to be to be a LOVING HUSBAND etc. ?? Let’s talk to our sons, coz at this rate, they will continue killing each other.

I hope the lady has brothers and I hope they do what brother’s should do to their sisters which is to protect them….this should be the last person that looser lays his hands on in this life.

What about the lady who clobbered the mlevi the other day???Who will fight for the boy child as well

Wakili, it is not the 500/= that transformed a beauty into an ugly looking lady! It is that beautiful face and the fear that another man maybe admiring her. But for free, she is pretty and admirable! He can go hang with that.

But why? Why should someone rough up a lady like this? Why?
