Arua, Uganda | By Michael Wandati | Police in Arua district, in northern Uganda have arrested a 48-year-old man suspected of killing his wife, reportedly motivated by her denying to have sex with him.
According to Mr. Fred Enanga, the police spokesperson, ongoing investigations suggest that the couple had refrained from sharing conjugal rights.
This apparent lack of intimacy stemmed from the victim’s allegations against her husband, accusing him of engaging in extramarital affairs.
