A
35-year-old man who chopped off his wife’s hands has been arrested in
Isingiro in Uganda. Polly Namaye, the Police Spokesperson for South
Western Region said the suspect, Julius Kabagambe, 35, of Kalungu,
Rushasha in Bukanga District attacked the victim, Katarina Tuzarirwe,
27 at her home on Friday at around 2:00am and chopped off her hands.
Namaye
said the couple had divorced a year ago. She said the police acted fast
and arrested the suspect as he fled the village. “We detained the
suspect and later rushed the victim to Mbarara Hospital where she is
nursing serious wounds,” she said.
Woman’s story
Tuzarirwe
told this reporter on her hospital bed at Mbarara Referral Hospital
that she divorced her husband in March last year after he married
another man’s wife. “We were living in a happy relationship but after
sometime, the man changed his mind and married another woman,” she said.
She
said he then chased her from their home and sold the land. She said
that while she was at her parent’s home, she got rumours that her hubby
was planning to attack her over allegations that she had turned into a
prostitute.
“When
he received those rumours, he called me and threatened to kill me,” she
said. She said that on Friday morning, he called her saying he wanted
to spend a night at their home to settle their differences in the
presence of her parents.
“When
he came, we welcomed him to our home and my parents suggested that he
spends a night,” she said. This , as it turned out, was giving the devil
abode. While they were asleep, the man woke up and picked a quarrel
with her. Amidst a struggle, she said, he picked a machete from under
the bed and hacked of her hands like a bunch of bananas. “He then
disappeared to the home of a neighbour where he was arrested the
following day,” she said tearfully.
