Police in Sembabule District is holding a 26- year-old mother for allegedly beheading her husband in a fight over Shs 20,000.
The suspect Generous Birungi, a resident of Ibaare village in Bulongo Sub County was picked by police on allegation that she murdered her husband, Nuru Kabarwanyi in domestic violence brawl.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect had borrowed Shs20, 000 from a village savings group to cultivate beans for the family but when they sold the produce, her husband allegedly spent all the money.
Mr. John Mary Mugambe, the Ntuusi Sub County Internal Security Officer (GISO) said that it began as a quarrel before Kabarwanyi held a stick and started beating his wife accusing her of furiously demanding for the money.
“Amid the scuffle, the stick fell from his hand and as he bent to pick it, the wife got a machete and hacked him,” Mr. Mugambe said.
According to Mugambe, they managed to save the suspect from the angry mob that attempted to lynch her.
