Residents of Naivasha are reeling from shock
after a man chopped off his private parts and
threw them to a dog saying they were of no
value to him.
According to the Star Kenya, on Wednesday,
March 29th, the man from Karai started with a
razor blade but finished cutting off his penis
with a knife.
Screams from his on one-room house attracted
members of the public who called police for help
After about 30 minutes of writhing in pain and
heavy bleeding, the man was taken to Naivasha
subcounty hospital. Joseph Chege, a resident,
told journalists they found the man half naked
and bleeding heavily.
"The man claimed the Bible ordered him
to discard any body part that would deter
him from entering heaven," Chege said.
Chege also said the man worked in one of the
quarries and never interacted with residents.
Another neighbour, James Kabono who
described the incident as shocking, said they
were trying to understand why the man harmed
himself.
"He decided to cut off the most important
part of the body," Kabono said.
A woman at the scene claimed the man was
impotent and decided to sever the body part "as
it was not of any service to him".
Joseph Mburu, the superintendent in charge of
the hospital, who confirmed the incident said the
man was in critical condition.
"He has been taken to the theatre...we
hope he shall recover," he said.
