Elsewhere, a tussle between two lovebirds ended in a Makadara court when the man admitted to stealing a Bible, a pillow, a mat and a mobile phone from his girlfriend.
The court heard that Peter Otieno stole the items from Valentine Songore on January 30, 2023, after an argument ensued.
Prior to that, the accused had visited the complainant’s house and demanded breakfast. His girlfriend gave in to his demands and served him tea.
The accused went on to rant, complained and requested sex, when his girlfriend denied his request, he allegedly insulted and slapped her.
The complainant then ran for her life and reported her boyfriend to a relative. When they returned to her house, the accused had left but the items mentioned above had gone missing.
Consequently, the two reached out to Otieno only to be met by insults. This prompted them to report the matter to the police.
Police who arrested the accused recovered the items at his house and put him in custody.
While appearing before Senior Principal Magistrate Mary Njagi, Otieno pleaded guilty to theft and handling stolen property contrary to Section 268 (1) of the penal code.
