Woman Stabs Ex-Boyfriend with Broken Plate After Midnight Fight

A late-night love dispute has turned deadly in Rubaga Division, after a woman allegedly stabbed her former boyfriend to death during a violent fight inside her rented room.

The suspect, Nantongo Hadijjah, 32, is currently detained at Natete Police Station following the fatal incident that happened in Wakaliga Zone B in the early hours of Thursday.

The deceased has been identified as Ssebugwawo Mike, a 43-year-old mechanic and resident of Wakaliga Zone in Rubaga Division.

According to police, the deadly drama unfolded at around 2:00 AM after the deceased reportedly went to Nantongo’s residence following several unanswered phone calls.

Preliminary police findings indicate that the couple had been in a romantic relationship but had allegedly separated about two months ago.

However, trouble reportedly erupted when Ssebugwawo arrived at the woman’s house and allegedly found the door locked while another man was inside the room.

Investigators say the deceased allegedly forced his way into the room, sparking a violent confrontation.

During the heated fight, Nantongo allegedly grabbed a sharp broken clay plate and stabbed the mechanic in the chest.

The wound proved fatal.

Police officers later arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect, who remains in custody as investigations continue.

Police spokesperson Rachael Kawala confirmed the incident and condemned acts of domestic violence.

Authorities have urged members of the public experiencing domestic conflicts to seek help and report cases of abuse before situations escalate into deadly violence.
