A 27-year-old pregnant woman suffered burns to 45 per cent of her body after she set herself aflame over her husband’s alleged extra-marital affair.
Cythia Njoki sustained injuries in her hands, abdomen, thighs and face after attempting to commits suicide in her house at Langalanga estate using Kerosene after her husband failed to explain where he spent the Saturday night, August 14.
Ms Njoki said her husband, a mechanic, failed to return home that night and when he came on Sunday evening, he kept on calling a woman she suspected was having an affair with him. In anger, she went into their bedroom, poured kerosene on her body and set herself alight.
“I had an issue with my husband after he failed to report home and on coming, he continued to call a woman he was having a relationship with. I was angry and burnt myself,” said Njoki who was in deep pain at Rift Valley Provincial Hospital.
Nursing officer in charge of the ward, Jenipher Mathenge said the patient was received on Sunday night at around 8pm in a critical condition.
“The patient was received in a very critical condition, with her hands, face, abdomen and thighs burnt. Her fingers are also totally burnt,” Mathenge said.
She said the Ms Njoki, who is six months pregnant also has breathing problems after she inhaled hot air.
They are investigating the status of the unborn baby after they noticed the foetus had irregular heart beat.
“The patient is pregnant and we are conducting further investigations to know the status of the unborn child,” she said.
The patient’s mother Mary Wangui said she rushed to the hospital immediately after she was informed about the incident but could not communicate with Njoki because she had breathing difficulties.
Ms Wangui said prior to the incident, Njoki had shared with her the problems she was going through due to the alleged promiscuity. She asked the husband what happened but he did not give a clear explanation, claiming to have received a phone call from a woman whom Njoki suspected was his lover.

Hahahaha Joyce when you done let me know okay if you think leaving your baby’s dad was the best option like I said then you have to think twice because there’s no perfect relationship out there people are bound to make mistakes but it doesn’t mean they should be thrown to hell that was the reason Jesus Christ died for our sins so we can learn how to forgive others so continue when you done let me know

Baby girl I don’t have anything to say to u cause u ain’t making sense to me. Okay let me ask u would you be with a man that comes in with a woman in your own eyes and he tells you woman go to the siting room I have a visitor and u hear her scream out sexualy?. Would you still be with a man that spends his money on another woman right in your very own eyes. Would you be with a man that never told you how beautiful u are rather when you ask him for money or try to talk with him romantically and all he makes you feel is that you are worthless. Can u be with a man that comes home drunk and u are trying to help him and he beats you as if u are his fellow man rapeing you, knowing you are pregnant. Say the Truth would you be with such a man until you die? Did God said you should go and die for a man. For better for worse means when a husband or a wife is in down with pain and heart break, you have to stand with he or she. Even in sickness u have to be there. Even when people are against he or she u have to stand with each other. And when thing are going good,still stand with he or she. When you are married, I believe that you both are together to help each other achieve there dreams. And to help the kids grow. I believe that is the vow a husband and wife agreed on. And I can’t see where it is said beat or cheat on your husband or wife. My dear I love the beauty that God gave to me and I will not ruin my precious life because I’m married to a man who never supports me or helped me to reach my goals. well I’m very much happy now. I will keep you posted for u to keep on seeing the good work of God in my life. And my advice to u is that if u are married and u see your husband cheating on you and that u are sure try to use wisdom on him. And if your man is the type that doesn’t care and he dose all the stuff in your own eyes and beat u on top of it, my dear sister don’t be a fool run trust me he will lock the door and kill you oneday. So I did the right thing by leaving him to achieve my dreams and I did the right thing to leave so he can marry the woman that he wants and which he did. Like I said when u act like a fool u are a fool. Tell that sister that set herself on fire that she is a big fool.
Hahahahaha 4 eyes no be small lolz
and some shallow minded people will ask a lady in her 30’s or 40’s why she’s still single, It’s only in Africa that marriage is considered an achievement #whohusbandepp ? #whomarriageepp ? Alline Art Chris Joyce you’re the true definition of a lady #strongblackwoman
Usla kidy amandoh wait a minute I was just going through all the comments and I found out that there are heavy names that has been given to this lady that think she is a woman… so please stop and face your pretty life. Its is said when one acts like a fool he or she is completely a big fool. Tell her that I said she is a disgrace to women and a fool. No man is worth dieing for okay. She committed suicide which is sin in God’s eyes. Even killed an innocent soul which is the baby. Wait ooo hahahaha so were u thinking that God will open his hands and say my daughter my daughter u did well hahahah come and be with me taaaa!!!!!!! Have it in mind she just made God look worthless as in he wasted his time to create her. My dear there is no big sin or small sin okay sin is a sin simple and if she dies she is welcomed in hail and her man move on. Open your eyes okay.
Who is feeling the pains now.
Zats not fair life never end….but its a new start for u n ur child. ..hop u get well soon n understand zis message. . ..live 4 ur child
Lol Good you kn that sin is sin let God be the judge and not me and you dear at that moment that was the only thing she could think of if God didn’t allow her to die it means she have another chance to correct her mistakes so move on girl.Just call a God creation fool is a sin too don’t you think?
So sad and I won’t judge her because people are different, we all react differently to incidences. I hope the baby is doing well and that she recovers asap in Jesus’s mighty name Amen.
iam too sory u are not aware off wen u have like this (jealous) n z too hard to control ur self
i wish u queckly recover
You are just talking out of point my dear u no get say okay. Listen to yourself. How do you see my opinion as a judgement to this lady. Hahahahahah my dear. U gat no point on what you are saying. Please note this when elders are talking, sit down listen and learn. I ain not gonna waste my precious time on you. Use your brain sweet heart and good night
Lol Good you kn that sin is sin let God be the judge and not me and you dear at that moment that was the only thing she could think of if God didn’t allowed her to die it means she was been given another chance to correct her mistakes so move on girl.Don’t you think calling a God creation fool is equally a sin
A fool is a fool and any one who definitely stands with a fool is a fool. Girl you’re not making sense okay
she’s funny because of man God forbid
She died today.
My condolences to her family
My condolences to her family
She’s a big fool?
She’s a big fool?
Les hommes sont trop méchant et jamais reconnaissant
Hope she is OK.. Depression in Pregnancy can also be a factor…
Love is hard to deal with .pray for pls dt blame
Is a choice
A woman who have d heart to set her self on fire , having the courage to walk a way from dat man den sounds so easy to me.,so I don’t believe dis story they should investigate to find out who set dat woman on fire is dat simple ,Cos even fools no dat fire hurts a lot nd can’t do dis
Is hard to believe that this woman set her self on fire cos her husband was doing wat most men no how to do best, So I say dey should investigate who set dat woman on fire , if u wnt to kill ur self why choose fire dat the most painful nd horrible way to die , dat y I think there is more to it . but if u did dis to ur self ,den I can only conclude dat even before d act, u where mentally unstable.
she is foolish
