Police in Katwe have arrested Joy Biira, a resident of Nabisalu Wasswa Zone in Makindye Division, Kampala on suspicion of killing her husband, Benson Baluku.
According to police spokesperson Fred Enanga, preliminary information indicates that on March 26, Baluku returned home drunk and started a fight with his wife, accusing her of having extramarital affairs.
During the altercation, Baluku allegedly grabbed Biira by the neck and began to strangle her. In self-defence, Biira is said to have drawn a knife and severed her husband’s genitals. Unfortunately, Baluku bled to death as a result of his injuries.
Enanga said the incident is a tragic reminder of the reality of domestic violence and its potentially fatal consequences. He also emphasized the importance of seeking help when dealing with marital conflicts and disputes.
