Recently, the issue of domestic violence occupies a significant share of the difficulties faced by households nowadays. While studies of domestic violence have primarily focused on female victims and young children, male victims have also been documented.
All reports of domestic violence must be treated seriously, and victims must have ready access to the help they need. It is important that victims of any crime have easy access to the help they need.
While men and women are equally vulnerable to experiencing acts of interpersonal violence and abuse, women are disproportionately affected by more severe kinds of abuse, especially sexual assault.
Men are also statistically more likely to be the victims of physical, psychological, or emotional abuse on a long-term basis, as well as of acts of violence that resulted in bodily harm or death.
A middle-aged woman was recently arraigned on charges of murder after she allegedly killed her husband by beating him after he got home late at night and found the door locked.
Recently, reports from the prosecution state that the accused, identified as Damaris Mumbua, returned home late and asked her husband to open the door for her, but he refused. She entered the room by forcing the door open from the outside and brutally murdered her husband.
The defendant’s excuse for her husband’s unpleasant behavior on the night in question was part of her emotional plea for forgiveness.
It always began with him being verbally confrontational,” she stated. You never liked me anyway,” he’d say whenever the topic turned to my alleged disloyalty. He referred to me as a “thing,” as if I were not a living, breathing human being.
Sometimes I would pass out from the intensity of the shaking; other times he would strangle me. When I was only partially awake, he would kick me while I was lying on the floor or the bed.
In one instance, she said he grabbed her by the throat during an argument over coffee, and in another, he choked her until she passed out over a disagreement over a cheeseboard. According to her, “he would put his hands over my mouth, and we would enjoy pleasure” if she did not desire romantic attachment.
