The brutal murder of Aisha Kigongo at the hands of her husband Richard Nsubuga in Mpigi district is a tragic reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence fueled by jealousy and suspicion. For instance, in June 2024, in Kayunga district, a 34-year-old man identified as Fred Ngobi grabbed a machete and cut off his wife’s hand, Fatuma Babirye, on allegations of infidelity.

As the investigations continue, it is crucial that the police work closely with the community to gather intelligence, identify the suspects, and bring them to justice.

Simon Luyima, a 21-year-old male water vendor, has been murdered in cold blood and his recently purchased motorcycle stolen.
