A man is nursing serious self-inflicted wounds at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital after he tried to escape from the long limbs of the law.

Two law enforcement officers namely Rose Mwanzia and Geoffrey Koros had stormed into the suspect's house intending to apprehend him for obtaining money by false pretences.

The suspect identified as Didmus Mong'are emerged from his bedroom naked in a ploy to hoodwink the officers into allowing him some room to dress up.

He dressed in a pair of jeans trousers and a checked shirt before dashing in the direction of his kitchen.

Mong'are took a supposed 'leap of freedom' from his kitchen balcony at Amani Apartments in Embakasi and landed on the ground with a whimper.
