Shocking family betrayal unfolds in residential community as enraged landlord confronts tenant
Residents of a quiet residential area were left in shock after a dramatic incident involving a tenant, identified as Richard, who narrowly escaped being lynched after his landlord allegedly discovered that both his wife and daughter were pregnant for him.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred after Mr. Nyauta, a teacher and landlord, received confirmation of long-circulating rumors surrounding his tenant’s inappropriate relationship with members of his household.
Richard, an Okada (commercial motorcycle) rider, had reportedly been giving Mr. Nyauta’s wife daily rides to town with the landlord’s full knowledge and consent. Neighbours say the arrangement had gone on for months without suspicion.
Mr. Nyauta and his wife have been married for over 20 years and share three children together. Due to the landlord’s work schedule, he often returned home late, remaining unaware of growing tension within his household.
According to reports, a major warning sign emerged a week earlier when Mr. Nyauta’s wife and their eldest daughter were involved in a heated argument inside Richard’s room. Since then, neighbours noticed growing hostility between mother and daughter, though the landlord was reportedly unaware of the cause.
The situation escalated when, just days ago, the daughter informed her mother that she had missed her menstrual cycle. Upon medical checks, it was discovered that she was two months pregnant. The daughter allegedly confessed that Richard was responsible.
Further revelations followed when it emerged that the landlord’s wife herself was three months pregnant, also allegedly for the same tenant. The matter nearly remained hidden until the wife reportedly visited a pharmacy to purchase abortion medication.
The pharmacist, who is said to be a close friend of Mr. Nyauta, reportedly alerted the landlord about the purchase. When confronted, the wife eventually confessed that both she and her daughter were pregnant for Richard.
Eyewitnesses say Mr. Nyauta was momentarily stunned before attempting to physically attack the tenant. Other tenants reportedly intervened, preventing what could have turned into a fatal assault.
Richard has since been evicted immediately from the compound, along with his wife. Although the couple is reportedly separated, no official divorce has been finalized. The landlord’s daughter remains in the home with her father as the family grapples with the fallout of the scandal.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the matter has been reported to law enforcement.
