Nakapiripirit, Uganda | By Michael Wandati | In a shocking turn of events, residents of Kaawach village in Nakapiripirit district are grappling with the discovery of the lifeless body of 21-year-old Nachap Hellen, found hanging from a tree. The tragic incident unfolded after a heated dispute with her brother, Mungan Isaac, over a modest sum of Shs 7,000.
Reportedly, Nachap had borrowed the money from her brother with a promise to repay it on the previous day. When Mungan confronted her to collect the debt, Nachap confessed her inability to repay immediately, requesting an additional day.
The revelation sparked a bitter verbal exchange that escalated into a violent fistfight. Overwhelmed with emotions, Nachap fled from the scene in tears, only to be later discovered hanging from a tree with a tightly fastened rope around her neck.
