What happened to Kakamega businesswoman?

The customer then threatened her, saying she could stab her multiple times with a knife. In response, Shalvine asked her to stop making threats.

Immediately after her response, Sharon slapped her, and she retaliated, leading to an altercation with the customer, not knowing what would unfold later.

A few minutes later, one of the customer’s friends, whom she said is called Val, arrived carrying a jug of hot water. She handed it over to Sharon, who then poured it on Shalvine, leaving her badly scalded on the arms.

“People who had noticed that the water was hot started shouting, telling me to run away because the water was hot. Some were even moving away. I immediately stopped fighting and took off, but I twisted my leg in the process and fell,” she said.

Sensing that the customer intended to scald her face, Shalvine quickly removed her sweater and covered her face before Sharon reached her with the jug of hot water.
