A 66-year-old University of Nairobi lecturer was charged for assaulting and causing grievous harm to his girlfriend following a quarrel over closing of a window.
James Mweri Kahunyo is accused of injuring Mariam Wanjiku Kamau in his house in UoN staff quarters at Mamlaka Apartments on October 2.
The two are said to have picked a fight after a disagreement.
They had returned to the house from a restaurant along Waiyaki Way in Mr Kahunyo’s car and she then allegedly told the don that she wanted the window closed but he insisted it must remain open prompting her to attempt to leave him at night.
A fight broke out between the lovers and Ms Kamau attempted to flee after Mr Kahunyo allegedly kicked her in the ribs but he reportedly dragged her back to the bedroom and confiscated her phone and twisted her leg.
The court heard that she had called and informed a neighbour that she was being battered but the suspect reportedly grabbed her phone and locked the bedroom forcing her to remain there overnight, with the sustained injuries.
