Love should never, ever hurt this bad.
In a disturbing story out of Wichita, a neighbor called the police Sunday to report a loud disturbance at a nearby apartment, according to KSN. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 29-year-old Kenyan woman with severe head trauma from being struck repeatedly with the claw end of a hammer. The hammer was still lodged in her skull.
Police say the suspect, who is also a Kenyan national and either the woman’s boyfriend or husband, had taken his car and fled by the time police got to the apartment. He crashed into a median on the Kansas Turnpike and was found running in between vehicles before being arrested by the Highway Patrol.
The woman is unresponsive and in “very critical condition,” say police.
This isn’t the first case in which the woman and man have been named as victim and defendant, respectively. A domestic-violence case in September is still pending. Sadly, the police department said the woman specifically requested that the man not be issued a restraining order.
The man faces charges of attempted first-degree murder for bludgeoning his lover with a hammer. Maybe it’s time for that restraining order — and if the accusations are true, a hell of a lot more than that.
