Nyandera, a mother of two said on the fateful day her co-wife Scovia Tusimirire came at her home with a pang and stabbed her and her two-month old baby.

Tusimirire also went to the Boda-Boda stage where their husband works and stabbed him before she took off.

Nyandera said that after a few minutes her husband came home with a big cut on the hand and he was bleeding too much.

The incident took place at 10.00pm on Saturday in Kasambye village Hoima district.

The neighbours who had come to rescue the couple and their baby, rushed them to Kangwali health centre for treatment.

Nyandera said her child later passed on because she lost too much blood while her husband is still seeking treatment at the facility.
