By Jane Walusuna: Lucy Nyira, the 25-year-old woman from Karatina village in Nakuru County who was nursing serious injuries at the Nakuru Level 5 Hospital after she was burnt by her husband has succumbed.
The deceased had traveled to Nairobi on Friday, September 28 to purchase goods for her business and returned on Saturday evening.
But the husband could hear none of her reasons for not returning back the same day. He poured petrol on her and set her ablaze before neighbours arrived, almost too late, to take her to hospital.
Doctors had initially said she had sustained over 60 per cent burns.
