Wife Murders Own Husband In Cold Blood, Goes Into Hiding

Police in Natete are currently investigating a horrifying case of attempted murder that took place in Busega, Rubaga Division, early in the morning on 06 January 2026. The victim, a 29-year-old salesman named [Name], who works with Double Q Sinotruk, was attacked by his wife, Joy, in a violent incident that left him with multiple deep cuts and serious injuries to his head.

The shocking attack took place around 2:00 AM, when Joy allegedly stabbed her husband in a brutal outburst of violence. The victim’s landlord, upon hearing about the incident, quickly alerted the police, and a friend rushed the bleeding man to Rubaga Hospital for urgent medical attention. Authorities were swift to respond, arriving at the crime scene shortly after, where they found disturbing signs of the violence. Blood stains were seen all over the floor, walls, and clothing inside the house. A panga, suspected to be the weapon used in the attack, was also discovered at the scene.

Early investigations suggest that the couple had been together for about two years, and they share a nine-month-old baby. However, things took a dramatic turn on 01 January 2026, when Joy reportedly abandoned their infant with the father, marking a troubling sign of the tension in their relationship.

Following the attack, police are working tirelessly to track down Joy, who has fled the scene. Efforts are ongoing to arrest her and ensure she faces the law for her violent actions.

This case highlights an often-overlooked reality of domestic violence, where men also fall victim to violent attacks. The police are urging anyone who is experiencing domestic abuse to come forward and seek help, emphasizing that the Child and Family Protection Units at all police stations are available to assist victims.

In the face of such violence, the public is reminded that no one should suffer in silence. It is crucial to break the cycle of abuse and seek help before things escalate, as in this tragic case.

SP Kawala Racheal, the Police Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police, reassured the public that every effort is being made to bring the suspect to justice.
