Man who burnt wife with acid found HIV card

On the night of January 7, 2016, a domestic quarrel descended into horror when Imran Kaliisa 27, doused his beautiful wife of eight years, Justine Aisha Kyomugisha, with acid.

The Container Village-based second hand shoe trader died of her injuries at Mulago hospital last month, leaving a seven-year old daughter. She was laid to rest in Kisoro.

Following that fateful night Kaliisa went on the run and has been on police's most wanted list. Kaliisa, who was arrested from areas of Bunyoro after four months on the run, cofessed to the heinous act.

His confession is as shocking as the events of that fateful night in Mubaraka Zone, Makindye.

Kaliisa told the Police at Katwe that he always grilled his wife about the numerous phone calls she received at awkward hours of the night, strongly suspecting they were from lovers.

She always told him they were only business colleagues. Bothered by the trend, Kaliisa started rummaging threw her belongings to find 'evidence' of infidelity.

It was during one of such 'fishing expeditions' that he espied an HIV status card showing she was positive. All hell broke loose.

Kaliisa says when he confronted his wife she denied having knowledge of what he was alleging.

Out of anger he resolved to punish her in a manner she would never forget, and set about his evil plan that he executed on the fateful night.

The 'domestic quarrel' that night was a ploy; he ochestrated it well knowing the end result. He lured her into a trap, the end result of which would be agony, and finally death.

Kaliisa will be arraigned in court next week, according to Benon Ayebare, the CIID boss, Kampala South.
