“The suspect was left home with the child while his wife and his child went to church. When the wife returned from church, her husband told her that he had bought some meat and it was in a sauce pan in the kitchen. He instructed the wife to cook it immediately because he was hungry,” said Mr. Kabeho.
“When the wife entered the kitchen, she found chopped pieces of human meat in the pan,” he added.
The investigations into the incident are currently underway, and as the Councillor noted, the suspect has a documented history of mental instability.
