Shimanya who is a primary school teacher at Global Primary School in Isingiro told detectives that on the fateful day, Kakai came back home with Sebuufu whom she had for a long time been in a love affair with.

Shimanya, who is being detained at the Central Police Station Kampala, said that he hit his wife with an axe while trying to attack Sebuufu, a driver at Katalemwa Chensire home in Mpererwe.

"It was in the night when Sebuufu and the deceased came in a car. I hurriedly came out to get that man because he had disturbed me for a long time but Kakai blocked me," Ssebuufu said.
