'I buy food, my wife takes it all to the pastor,' Upset husband tells Court

A man has surprised the Mombasa court after complaining that his wife infected him with AIDS and also takes all the food he buys and takes it to the pastor in the church.

"She is my wife and she infected me with HIV. If I buy food, she takes it all to the pastor and she does this every day. The pastor also bought her a phone," the man painfully said.

The man told the court after he was brought there as a suspect for attacking the pastor of a church.

The man was brought to court a few days ago accused of attacking the pastor, and this time after admitting his mistakes, he decided to surprise the court by telling what led him to attack the servant of God.

"Yes, it is true that I hit him," said the suspect explaining why he could not control himself and attacked the priest.

He explained that that day around five o'clock in the morning he went to the church in Mombasa to ask the pastor why his wife had taken so long in his church.

When the suspect arrived at the church, he approached the priest for a conversation, but the servant of God pushed him away.

"I got angry and slapped him on the neck because he disrespected me while my wife went to his church with the children for no reason," he explained.

After slapping him, the pastor fell to the ground and screamed whereupon the people arrived and separated them.

Later he was informed that the pastor had opened a case against him. According to the pastor, the suspect hit him several times while his friends watched.

"I screamed but before the rescuers arrived, he wrestled me down the slope. I was injured on my right hand between the index finger and the thumb.

Neighbours came to save me but the suspect insisted on teaching me a lesson not to give shelter to people's wives," he said.

The judge ordered pre-sentence evaluation reports by the victim before sentencing the suspect. The case will be mentioned on April 5.
