Kampala Metropolitan (KPM) has arrested and detained William Mugarura from Kitintale for setting a house a blaze killing his ex-wife identified as Esther Nalongo.
Luke
Owoyesigire, the Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, confirmed the
incident and said Nalongo is said to have separated from her husband and sought
refuge at friend’s home, Dan Kyazze also a resident of Kitintale.
Mugarura
reportedly was not pleased with the wife’s move and instead on September 25
went to Kyazze’s home and set the house on fire.
The
fire was extinguished but Kyazze and Nalongo had sustained injuries that later
claimed her life on Thursday. Kyazze is still nursing wounds at Kiruddu
Hospital.
Police have since arrested Mugarura and detained him at Jinja Road
Police station on charges of murder, assault and attempted murder. Currently
his file is with the state Attorney and is expended to be taken to court on
Monday.
