The husband failed to control his temper and slapped his wife. 

“What type of woman are you? This is our daughter and I have to get her dowry. Don't think you'll sanction me here. Put all the money on the table and let's find out how we will share it. Let's also know how we will protect or share these cows or I will take the cows to my relatives, ” the son added. He could not help out the situation so he let them quarrel. 

Without hesitation, the wife injured her husband with a sharp object. It's allegedly the woman also undressed her husband and chopped off the Mr. Were genitals and ran away with the dowry. 

Mr. Were was taken to Bungoma referral hospital for treatment. The police are hunting down the woman. But sources say she crossed to Uganda.
