On Sunday, Luwero police commenced an investigation into the
hacking death of a woman following a reported domestic altercation in Vumba
Village, Butuntumula Sub-County.
Preliminary findings suggest that the deceased traveled from
Namutumba district with her daughter to visit her partner, with whom she had
been experiencing domestic issues.
According to police reports, the suspect,
Musana Sosipatero, allegedly strangled and hacked the woman to death on
Saturday night. The discovery was made by neighbors on Sunday morning when they
heard a child crying and found both the deceased and the suspect in the house.
The victim, identified as Tebibwa Sharon, was pronounced
dead with severe neck wounds, while the suspect was found unconscious,
suspected of poisoning himself with rat poison. The deceased, married to Allan
Katuramu of Bulamu in Mpigi District, was in a clandestine relationship with
the suspect, Musana Sosipatero.
She had traveled to Luwero under the pretext of
visiting a friend who had arranged a job for her as a housemaid. Twiineamazima reveals that the suspect's employer witnessed
him chasing away his wife and children to accommodate the victim. The
investigation aims to determine the cause of the altercation that led to the
murder and attempted suicide.
Due to the victim's status as a stranger, police
initially faced challenges obtaining her information until contacting her
family. Twiineamazima confirms that the suspect is recovering and will continue
to cooperate with investigators once fully healed.
