In Nakaseke District, a 47-year-old woman is currently in police custody on suspicion of fatally hacking her husband to death in Kassaga Village, Nakaseke Sub County.
The victim, identified as 60-year-old John Bosco Kalemera, a native doctor, was reportedly attacked and brutally killed at his home around 11 pm.
According to ASP Sam Twiineamazima, the Savannah Regional Police Spokesperson, investigations are ongoing, and authorities are actively seeking the unidentified assailants responsible for the gruesome murder.
“Our preliminary investigations indicate that Kalemera sustained fatal injuries inflicted by a machete wielded by an unknown person. At the time of the incident, Kalemera was with his wife, who fortunately escaped physical harm,” stated Mr. Twiineamazima on Friday.
The authorities have detained the victim’s wife to assist in the ongoing investigations, as the circumstances surrounding the tragic event remain unclear.
Evidence suggests that Kalemera was attacked while sleeping in his bed. “We found a basin containing water mixed with blood, indicating that someone may have either washed their hands or the machete used in the attack,” added Mr. Twiineamazima.
A team of detectives has thoroughly examined the crime scene, collecting statements from the village chairman and other key witnesses. The victim’s body has been taken to Nakaseke hospital for a postmortem examination to determine the cause of death.
