Disgruntled Man Arrested For Pouring Hot Water In Wife’s Genitals

Police in Buikwe district has arrested one Mugerwa Muhammad on charges of aggravated torture after he poured hot water into his wife’s genitals she suspected her of making out with another man.

Mugerwa, 29, a boda boda rider, of Bulenga village, Kikwayi Parish, Ngonwe sub-county, in Buikwe district inflicted the torture on the victim identified as Nakazi Gertrude, 25, resident of Kikwayi village.

Police Spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga explained that preliminary investigations indicate Mugerwa upon suspecting his wife of infidelity, after she spent a night outside their marital home developed an intention of inflicting serious injuries on his wife, as a form of punishment.

“He timed when his wife was deep asleep, and boiled hot water, which he poured into the genitals of his wife, thus, causing very severe injuries and lacerations on her private parts and body surroundings. The victim screamed for help, due to the much pain and agony she was going through. She was rushed to Kawolo Hospital for treatment and her husband was arrested,” Enanga told Journalists during the weekly security briefing at Naguru police Headquarters.

Enanga described the atrocious act by Mugerwa as one of extreme domestic violence and revenge by men, who react with fury, instead of seeking better help on how to resolve domestic conflicts including suspicions of infidelity.

However, the police spox cautioned couples that revenge does not work out that way and advised that giving oneself space and freedom could be one way to cool off the temper and let emotions calm down.

“In most cases, revenge does not just punish and hurt your partner, but it also hurts you too. It is therefore, important to find an outlet for anger, without criticising or directing hostility inward. Notice what is going within you and find a healthy way to express how you feel. Give yourself space and freedom to let those emotions come out.”

He added; “Finally, recognise the improvements both you and your partner are making, even if they are still in the process. What are the habits that you are starting to change, that used to bring tension and distance to your relationship? Have you taken steps to turn them around? What are the ways your partner is following through, keeping his or her promises and proving with actions, that real improvement is happening When you live mostly in the present movement, guess what happens to those revenge desires? They get weaker and pass on, which enables you to rebuild trust and repair your relationship.”

Police further urged the general public to make use of the toll-free line in case one feels to be at a risk of domestic violence so that they can get emotional support.

“We continue to call upon the public, that if you are at a risk of domestic violence or abuse, please call the Child and Family Protection Unit on 0800199195 for emotional support. They also attend to individuals who need confidential help with their own abusive behaviors.”
