Kenyan held in the US for axe attack
Story by JEFF OTIENO Publication Date: 07/23/2006 A Kenyan is being held in the United States after slicing his colleague with an axe. Elijah Tanui was arrested by police after he slit
the forehead of his
girlfriend, Tecla Cheruiyot, during a confrontation that lasted almost four hours in a motel in Maryland. According to a report in The Patriot News, also
appearing on PennLive. Com
site, Tanui, who is from Wilmington, has since been charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of false imprisonment and two counts of concealing a deadly weapon. He is being held there in lieu of $500,000 (Sh35 million) bail awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania. Tanui, Ms Cheruiyot said, sliced her with an axe.
The axe cut her forehead
in an L-shape. Another blow severed her ear, from the top of the ear to the tube leading into the inner part, she said. Susquehanna police whose jurisdiction includes the
area where Mr Tanui and
Ms Cheruiyot lived, have also charged him with attempted homicide, two counts of kidnapping, aggravated assault, robbery of a motor vehicle, and terroristic threats. The report said the kidnap ordeal started at
Cheruiyot's home in
Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, where Mr Tanui had gone to collect his belongings after breaking up with the former who had been his girlfriend for two years. The lady and her sister, Helen Jepkorir, live with
their uncle and are
studying nursing at Harrisburg Area Community College. A struggle between them began after an argument. "I struggled with him for a long time and I cried
for help. There was
nobody around here so there was nobody who could hear," Ms Cheruiyot said. She said Tanui had another time asked her to kill him. _______________________________________________
