CRIMES OF PASSION

The Police are investigating two weekend homicides, one involving a midwife at the International Hospital Kampala (IHK). She was hacked to death following a domestic brawl. The prime suspect is her husband.

Viola Kakai, 32, a midwife at IHK and a mother of three was killed on Saturday night. Sources indicated that Kakai's children witnessed her being hacked using an axe. Her husband, Simon Samanya, a retired teacher, has since disappeared.

It is alleged that Kakai was dropped from her workplace by a friend, but on hearing the sound of the car engine, her husband, who, it is said, often quarreled whenever she returned home, came out and ‘stoned the vehicle', forcing the unknown colleague to speed off. The husband suspected the driver to be in a relationship with his wife.

New Vision could not independently verify these claims.
