“He stabbed me 17 times in my back, chest and hands after a domestic quarrel at around 8am when my two daughters were asleep,” she said.
Ms Chege is currently admitted in hospital in stable condition, according to reports.
The incident happened as the couple’s daughters, Melissa and Faith, were asleep and were they were only woken up by their mother’s cry for help and called police.
