A wife has confessed in court that she stole her hubby’s household goods because his demands for s*x are too much and nearly made her go nuts. In retaliation, she packed her husband's belongings and disappeared.
Gertrude Jindia, 25, is said to have committed the offence on February 18 at Hamza estate, Kenya.
According to The Nairobian, she was accused of stealing a Sony flat TV, home theatre, an iron box, an electric kettle, gas cylinder, 1 suitcase all valued at Sh154,200 belonging to her husband, Elhphas Ombaka.
The court heard that Ombaka, who is a chef at a popular hotel in the city, returned home at around 11pm to find the items missing and the wife was nowhere to be seen.
Ombaka reported the matter to the police who arrested Jindia.
Jindia told court that she stole the items to revenge on her stingy husband.
“He leaves early and comes back late. He hardly leaves any money for food, yet he is chef. When he comes home, he demands for sex without caring if I have eaten anything the whole day. It pains me a lot,” she said.
She was released on Sh25,000 bail or Sh50,000 bond.
