A 24-year-old woman is recuperating at a Nairobi hospital after she was reportedly stabbed five times and seriously injured by her boyfriend in a jealous fit of rage inside a lift after they broke up.

The intern named Allan Musili, said to be an employee of the Kenya Copyright Board, is reported to have pounced on the woman while inside a lift at NHIF Building in Upper Hill area.

Officials from the building are reported to have picked bloodied Musili and his bleeding girlfriend, Alsheba Nduta, from the NHIF Building lift and rushed both of them to hospital.

According to a police report, Nduta sustained deep stab injuries on her back while her boyfriend Musili sustained injuries in his stomach and neck following the ugly incident.
