Woman Arrested Over Fatal Stabbing of Ex-Boyfriend in Rubaga

Police in Natete are holding a woman suspected of fatally stabbing her former boyfriend during a domestic dispute in Wakaliga Zone B, Rubaga Division in Kampala.

The suspect, identified as Nantongo Hadijjah, 32, is accused of killing Ssebugwawo Mike, 43, a mechanic, during a confrontation in the early hours of Thursday morning.

According to Police, the two had previously been in a relationship but reportedly separated about two months ago.

Preliminary findings indicate that at around 1:00am, Ssebugwawo allegedly went to Nantongo’s rented residence after repeatedly calling her phone without receiving a response.

Upon arrival, he reportedly found the door locked while another man was inside the room.

Police say Ssebugwawo allegedly forced his way into the house, triggering a physical confrontation between him and Nantongo.

During the scuffle, Nantongo is said to have stabbed him in the chest using a sharp broken clay plate, causing fatal injuries.

Ssebugwawo later succumbed to the wounds.

Nantongo was subsequently arrested and is currently being held at Natete Police Station as investigations into the incident continue.
