A 21-year-old man in Kanungu District has lost his life in a violent altercation over a woman. The incident occurred on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, around 11:00 AM in Ibambiro Village, Rusoroza Parish, Kihihi Sub-County.
Derrick Ainebyona, a resident of Ibambiro Village, was visiting the home of his friend, identified only as Godwin. During his visit, Judith, a woman he is romantically involved with, came over and began attending to him as they engaged in an intimate moment.
The presence of Judith and the ensuing situation angered another man, known only as Sam, who was also at the house. His frustration led to a quarrel that quickly escalated into a physical fight. Sam overpowered Ainebyona and killed him on the spot.
Swaibun Bahati, the LC1 Chairman of Ibambiro Village, reported that Sam fled the scene immediately after the incident. Elly Maate, the police spokesperson for the Kigezi region, confirmed that Ainebyona’s body has been taken to Kihihi Health Centre IV mortuary for a post-mortem examination.
The police are actively searching for Sam, and the case has been registered at Kihihi Police Station under file number CRB 347/2024.
