Man stabs his 20-year-old sister to death during an argument

A man has been arrested in Uganda after he allegedly stabbed his 20-year-old sister to death during an argument.

 

It was gathered that the incident happened on Thursday, September 24, at Nakulaye Zone 5, a Kampala city suburb in Lubaga Municipality.

 

The Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, who confirmed the incident, identified the suspect as Ashim Kyomuhendo, 28,.
 

Owoyesigyire said Kyomuhendo allegedly stabbed and killed his sister Aminah Namara, during an argument at around 4am, on Thursday morning. It is purported that Namara visited her brother a month ago and they have been staying together at his home.

 

"Our officers have conveyed the body of the deceased to the City Mortuary in Mulago for a postmortem as we continue with further investigations to ascertain the exact cause of the murder," Owoyesigyire said.

 

According to one of the eyewitnesses, Kyomuhendo picked a knife and stabbed his sister in the chest, and in the neck before he fled to his friend's home in Kasubi-Nabulagala. 

 

"The two engaged in a serious verbal exchange. Out of blue Kyomuhendo charged when the sister insulted him to the extent of reminding him of his past which compelled him to stab her two times, in attempt to stop her from spilling more secrets about him," the eyewitness said.

 

Police have also arrested Harriet Komuntale, a wife to the suspect to aid in the investigations. She is detained at Nakulabye Police station.

The case against Fotis Dulos for allegedly killing his wife is now closed, lawyers say

                               The case against a Connecticut man accused of killing his wife effectively ended Tuesday, his lawyers told CNN. Fotis Dulos  died  in late January before an emergency bond hearing in late January, after an apparent suicide attempt. "This was not the ending we anticipated, in the form we hoped," Norm Pattis said in a press conference outside of court. "We hoped fully well to stand in front of you someday with the charges against Mr. Dulos ended by way of an acquittal." The state's attorney chose not to continue prosecuting the case against Dulos, who had been  charged  with murder, felony murder and kidnapping in connection to his missing wife, Jennifer Farber Dulos. Dulos's former attorney and an ex-girlfriend were also charged in connection to her disappearance. Pattis argued in court today for the case to remain open, positing that Farber Dulos had been ki...

Sudan's former President Omar al-Bashir has been moved to Kobar maximum security prison, days after he was deposed in a military coup.   Reports say the ex-leader has until now been detained at the presidential residence under heavy guard. He is reportedly being held in solitary confinement and is surrounded by tight security.   Months of protests in Sudan led to the ousting and arrest of the long-time ruler on Thursday. Uganda's Minister for Foreign Affairs Henry Oryem Okello told Reuters news agency the country would consider offering the deposed leader asylum if he applied, despite an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC).   As an ICC member, Uganda would have to hand over Mr Bashir if he arrived in the country. The ICC has not yet commented. Until now, Bashir's whereabouts since his removal were unknown. The coup leader at the time, Awad Ibn Auf, said Mr Bashir was being detained in a "safe place". He himself stoo...
