On Friday, September 26, 2025, police in Narok County, Kenya, arrested a man captured in a viral video assaulting his expectant sister.
The assault reportedly stemmed from the brothers’ disapproval of the woman’s choice of husband, as they allegedly tried to coerce her into marrying another family’s member.
Several other suspects involved in the attack remain at large, and investigations are ongoing to apprehend them. Narok Central Sub-County Police Commander John Momanyi confirmed the arrest, emphasising that the incident is being treated as a serious case of domestic violence and gender-based assault.
The victim, who sustained injuries during the attack, has been admitted to a local hospital where she is receiving medical treatment and care. Authorities are working to ensure her safety and to provide support while legal proceedings advance.
Eyewitnesses reported that the attack was sudden and violent, with the perpetrator physically assaulting his pregnant sister in public before fleeing the scene. The video of the assault quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread condemnation and outrage from Kenyans online.
Police have appealed to the public to provide information that could lead to the arrest of the remaining suspects.
The incident underscores the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals from coercion and violence, reinforcing Kenya’s ongoing efforts to combat gender-based abuse and ensure justice for victims.
