Kenyan woman arrested for cutting legs of cows in Kamasaba

Eldam Ravine police have arrested a middle-aged Kenyan woman from Kamasaba village for cutting the legs of cows. This arrest came after the accused woman cut the legs of four cows of her neighbors.

Joseph Ongaya is the officer commander of Eldam Ravine police division (OCPD). He confirmed this horrific incident, stating that the accused woman committed this crime out of anger. She became angry when cows broke into her field and destroyed her maize.

This led her to reach for a panga (sharp African knife) and cut the legs of four cows. As a result of this brutal act, one cow died instantly due to fatal injuries. However, the remaining three lost their back legs and suffered severe injuries.

The accused woman is a widow. Her neighbors witnessed this shocking incident and expressed fear of stopping her from cutting cow’s legs as she might turn her wrath on them. Hence, they observed this incident from a distance.

Following this, Eldam Ravine Police, under the leadership of OCPD Joseph, arrested the relevant Kenyan woman for cutting the legs of cows. Commander Joseph also claimed they would present the accused woman before the court on June 24, 2024.

Moreover, he also warned village residents against committing such crimes. However, residents strongly condemned this incident and described it as “unacceptable.” The identity of the arrested woman is unknown.

In a separate incident, a 23-year-old man from Ematiha village, Kakamega County, committed bizarre acts on the domestic animals of his neighbors. He used to cut off the tails of animals and sometimes slaughter them.

His neighbors reported his offense to the police in March 2024 following his consistent criminal activities against animals. They revealed he conducted these acts usually at night. However, the police couldn’t arrest him yet. Hence, their search for the culprit is ongoing.
