"I told him I did not steal any money but he started beating me until I fled to a friend's house, before returning on Monday after he left for work."
Kawira's mother, Anne, said she had tried in vain over the years to get her daughter out of the abusive relationship.
" I have tried and tried but now, this cannot happen again. It must end now," Anne said.
