Bugiri police are holding a man accused
of chopping his neighbour to death. The suspect has been identified as Esau Ouma,
a resident of Buduma village in Buluguyi Sub County while the deceased is David
Siminyu.
According to preliminary information,
Ouma left for the funeral of his friend in Busia district on Monday evening but
didn’t find his wife, Fanisi Nabwire at home upon his return. His five-year-old
son reportedly told him that his mother had gone to the maize plantation with
Siminyu.
Ouma, who claims to have found the two
having sexual intercourse in the maize plantation picked up a machete and
chopped Siminyu but Nabwire managed to flee for dear life. Siminyu bled
profusely and was rushed to Bugiri hospital for further management.
He died while being transferred to Mbale
Regional Referral Hospital on Tuesday for better management. In her statement, Nabwire
accuses Ouma of being insensitive and applying excessive force in solving the
matter.
"I was having a private discussion
with Siminyu but when my husband arrived, he just started chopped him using a
panga without giving us a chance to explain what had transpired," she said.
The Busoga East Police Spokesperson,
James Mubi, says Ouma has confessed to the crime and is currently in custody at
Bugiri Central Police Station.
