A 66-year-old man has been arrested for the brutal murder of his 40-year-old wife. The suspect, Kyeyune Aloysius, is accused of hacking his wife to death with a hoe after he became enraged by her infidelity.
The incident happened in Kyambogo village, Nyabitanga sub-county in Ssembabule district on August 8, 2023.
Fred Enanga, the police spokesman says the couple had been having marital problems for some time and were sleeping in separate rooms. He explains that on the day of the murder, Kyeyune allegedly accused his wife of cheating on him with another man. He then picked up a hoe and hit her on the head multiple times, killing her instantly.
The suspect is currently in police custody and is awaiting trial. He has been charged with murder and is facing a life sentence if convicted.
Enanga says this is horrific case of domestic violence that has claimed the life of an innocent woman.
“We continue to strongly condemn such marital murders. The victim died in a violent manner, after she was hit with a hoe on the head. We cannot tolerate such violent acts in relationships and the wider community.”
He has encouraged the public to always report cases of domestic violence regardless of age, gender, or social status.
