Husband murders wife for using family planning
Enanga said later after 4 days with the stuffed body of the deceased, the suspect called her sister-in-law on the 15th November 2022 and told her how he had killed her sister during a domestic fight.
The Territorial Police in Kyegegwa has submitted the case file of a husband who murdered his wife over the use of family planning.
Police facts gathered indicate that Innocent Kibwetere, a 47-year-old, peasant of Bujunjura, Ruhangire parish, allegedly hit his wife with a blunt object.
The assault caused an acute brain injury that killed her instantly on the night of 11th November 2022.
Fred Enanga, the Police Spokesperson, said the suspect became aggressive after learning that his wife, Twikirize Ronious, aged 25, had started using family planning following an earlier miscarriage.
Enanga said later after 4 days with the stuffed body of the deceased, the suspect called her sister-in-law on the 15th of November 2022 and told her how he had killed her sister during a domestic fight.
“The matter was reported to Kazinga police who responded and recovered the body of the victim and took it to Kyegegwa Hospital for further post-mortem,” Enanga said.
Adding: “The suspect was also arrested and subjected to a medical examination. He was found to be normal and well-oriented, and is to be charged with murder,”
Enanga noted that with such an incident, there are people in society who have lost the sense of humanity and respect for others.
Police continue to advise partners in a toxic violent domestic setting, to always seek help from the Child and Family Protection Unit, the nearest Police Station, Probation offices or NGOs advocating for family rights when it is still early.
