This is really shocking! A mother of four has been arrested for allegedly murdering her husband and digging a 3 feet grave in their matrimonial bedroom with intention of burying him.
The shocking incident was said to have occurred in Gombe Division Wakiso District in Uganda.
It was reported that on Sunday, 12th of August 2018, at around 5am, the 38-year-old woman identified as Harriet Nassali hacked her husband, Sirajj Kawuma – to death with a knife. After killing him, she made efforts to dig a grave inside their master bedroom.
However, she was only able to dig as deep as 3 feet. On realising the gravity of her action, she decided to flee her home.
Her terrified 13-year-old child decided to alert the neighbours, narrated what had transpired and thus immediately calling for police intervention.
One of the children told the police about a male friend who had grown so close to their mother days before their father was hacked to death. The male friend identified as Alex Kamusangi then led a group of investigating officers to Nassali’s hideout and both were arrested.
Upon questioning, the duo admitted to having had plans of eliminating the deceased so that they could blossom in their new love affair.
Further inquiries reveal that the deceased and his wife previously had misunderstandings as a result of a land procurement deal gone bad resulting to their separation.
Close family friends revealed the bitter history of how the deceased had given his wife Nassali 27 million Ugandan Shillings to buy a plot of land. She allegedly used the money for other purposes sparking off the misunderstandings.
The deceased’s body has since been transported to the mortuary for postmortem and the two suspects detained at Mattuga Police Station.
