Evas Ntegyereize of Kibaale district has killed her husband, Charles Biryomumaisho, for allegedly selling off a piglet without her consent.

The criminal investigations department officer, Michael Ogwal, said Ntegyereize, from Kyebumba village in Bwikara sub-county, used a blunt stick to hit Biryomumaisho, 56, several times on the head.

Biryomumaisho allegedly sold the piglet at sh20,000 without her consent.

Some relatives said Biryomumaisho had only used sh2,000 to buy alcohol at the time of his death.
The couple had six children and had stayed together for over 28 years.

However, Biryomumaisho had two other wives in the same village.
Ntegyereize is on the run but the Police is searching for her.

Meanwhile, a bodaboda cyclist in his 30s was strangled to death in Mabaale sub-county.

Ogwal identified the dead man as Karoli Nsubuga, a resident of Kyakahuku village.

Ogwal said two men hired Nsubuga on Monday to take them to Nyabutanzi trading centre. A few kilometres to the place, the assailants strangled him with a rope.

The murderers took off with Nsubuga’s numberless motorcycle.
Nsubuga’s body was discovered by passers-by at around midday on Tuesday.

In a related development, the Police are also looking for an officer attached to New Uganda Securiko Company who broke into Mogas Muhorro filling station which he was guarding.

James Okello vanished with an unspecified amount of money.
