A 25-year-old man has died after being stabbed in a violent fight over a woman in Katanga Village, Nakapiripirit Town.
Adam Ipopo allegedly stabbed Gabriel Lochoro during a dispute.
Both men reportedly claimed to be in a relationship with the same woman.
Lochoro bled to death at the scene.
Police have recovered the murder weapon, and Ipopo is now in custody.
John Nangiro, the Nakapiripirit District Chairperson, condemned the killing and urged residents to resolve conflicts peacefully.
“People should avoid taking the law into their own hands,” he said.
The incident comes just a day after a 70-year-old woman was found dead in Namalu Sub County, further raising concerns over rising murder cases in the district.
Residents remain in shock as investigations continue.
