KAMULI – Police in Kamuli District have arrested a 35-year-old woman, Nabirye Kevin, for allegedly attempting to murder her husband by cutting off his genitals.
The victim, Bwamiki Mathias, 37, is currently admitted at Kamuli General Hospital in critical condition.

“The victim’s brother, Mukubo Godfrey, received a distress call from Bwamiki, informing him of the attack. When he arrived at the house, he found the victim in a pool of blood, still struggling with the wife. He managed to rescue his brother before reporting the matter to police,” Kasadha confirmed.
