MBARARA – Police in Mbarara district are investigating the brutal murder of Ainembabazi Ruth, an 18-year-old S.6 vacist, and her mother Bashaba Francisco, a 49-year-old peasant in Ntura parish of Mbarara district.
The incident occurred last week on Friday night at Nsiika cell, Ntura parish in Mbarara District.
“The gathered facts indicate that the mother, in the company of her daughter, visited her brother in Nsiika cell, where she received a call from her husband, Musinguzi Deus, aged 55, with whom they were not on good terms, inquiring about their whereabouts. The duo later returned home and remained unseen until 6.01.2024, when concerned residents checked their house. They discovered the two victims dead, both with their heads smashed by a blunt object,” stated Uganda Police spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga.
Enanga mentioned that three suspects, including the husband Musinguzi Deus, stepson Ainemukama Julius aged 25, and co-wife Kyohairwe Rosemary aged 50, were arrested due to existing family conflicts.
He emphasized that these suspects were the last individuals to contact the victims before their death and displayed suspicious behavior.
Enanga strongly condemned such domestic murders, urging spouses to respect each other and avoid resorting to violence.
