While Ugandans were celebrating the country’s 61st independence anniversary, Edwin Wandera from Namayingo district also planned to celebrate the day by going out to a lodge with his mistress, Jackline Aulo to enjoy festivities.
However, little did the two lovers know that Wandera’s wife, Christine Nabwire had found out her husband was cheating on her and was following every step the two lovers made.
According to police spokesperson, Fred Enanga, when the two lovers booked themselves a room in the lodge at Capital Pub in Namayingo at around 7pm on October, 10, Nabwire waited for the opportune time to pounce on them.
“Nabwire came with a knife and waited for them to come out. At around 10pm, as they came out of the room, she pounced on Aulo and stabbed her repeatedly on the upper back and run away,” Enanga said.
The police spokesperson explained that whereas Aulo was rushed to a nearby clinic for medical attention, she didn’t make it but she died along the way.
He noted that police have since arrested Nabwire to answer murder charges but said the managers and proprietor of the bar that also houses the lodge have also been summoned to record statements with police over negligence.
“We have summoned the managers and proprietor of Capital Pub for negligence for allowing Nabwire enter the pub and lodge with knife without being stopped. They also saw her stand next to the lodge’s door without getting concerned. Their negligence to some extent contributed to loss of a life,”Enanga noted.
He however asked people in relationships where there is distrust not to take the law into their hands but make use of Police’s child and family protection unit to help solve the matters amicably.
