A man from Kamakis, Kiambu County, who was arrested after footage of him assaulting his wife's cousin went viral, has found himself back in the public eye following the emergence of a second video that appears to show him destroying property inside his own home. The original clip, which shocked many Kenyans online, showed a man repeatedly beating a woman who could be heard screaming and begging him to stop.

According to a family source, the wife had reportedly been drinking when she called her cousin and asked her to come over. The cousin, who was already nearby, agreed and visited to offer company and support. What she did not anticipate was that the husband had allegedly been in the bedroom the whole time, listening to their conversation. He then came out and attacked her without any warning.

People close to the family say the wife allegedly drinks regularly and that her husband reportedly provides her with alcohol while discouraging her from spending time with relatives and friends. The housegirl who captured the incident on camera later admitted she had feared she would be the next target. This has raised concerns about the husband's behaviour and the dynamics within the family.

Footage now circulating online, allegedly filmed in August 2025, shows the man alone in the living room pulling a television off its wall mount and damaging other household items including a sound system. Those who shared the clip say his wife had locked herself in the bedroom after he became aggressive during a disagreement.

In the video, the man can be heard saying, \"Go away, I do not see your use, let me remove this thing,\" as he dismantles the television. The clip has left many questioning whether his behaviour points to unresolved anger, a mental health condition, or straightforward violence.

The emergence of the second video has sparked a range of reactions from Kenyans online. Some have expressed concern about the man's behaviour, while others have called for him to receive a fair hearing and potentially seek therapy. There are also those who believe he should face the consequences for his actions.

The case has highlighted issues of domestic violence and the complexities of relationships. The man's actions have caused alarm and raised questions about the underlying factors contributing to his behaviour. Authorities and experts will likely be monitoring the situation closely as it continues to unfold.
