Husband, Witch Doctor Arrested over Murdering Wife Inside Shrine

Territorial Police in Mityana have arrested two suspects in connection with a murder case that happened in Kitavujja LC1, Sekanyonyi Town Council Mityana District.

Rachel Kawala the Wamala Region PRO identified the suspects as Muwonge Joseph alias Kisenyi 25yr old and Lwanga Simon.

"Our task team on 15.11.2023  arrested  Muwonge Joseph alias Kisenyi (husband to the deceased) in a shrine belonging to Salongo Lwanga Simon  after a tip off by the residents," Kawala said.
The shrine is located  at Kawaala village, Kagele Parish Sekanyonyi Town Council Mityana District.
Also the witch doctor Lwanga Simon 56yr old has been arrested and the two are currently held Mityana CPS.

On the 7th of November 2023, at approximately 3pm, the police were informed of the discovery of the deceased, Nakamatte Jesca, a 19-year-old female resident of the same location, in an advanced state of decomposition within rental properties owned by Nnaku Rose in Kitavujja LC1, Ssekanyonyi Town Council, Mityana district. The condition of the body strongly suggested that the murder occurred roughly two weeks prior and that the body had been left within the house.

Preliminary findings indicated a potential connection between the victim's tragic murder and domestic violence, with suspicion falling on her husband, Muwonge Joseph Kisenyi. This was further compounded by the fact that certain body parts, including the nose and tongue, were found missing.

"File will be submitted to the office DPP for further guidance and possible sanctioning," Kawala noted.
