A 36-year-old man in Kasese District is suspected to have taken his own life after a domestic dispute with his wife.
Police identified the deceased as Kule John, a resident of Kinyangoko I Cell, Kisinga Town Council in Kasese District.
According to police, Kule allegedly returned home drunk early Sunday morning and picked a quarrel with his wife, Biira Mickline, during which he threatened to assault her.
The couple reportedly exchanged verbal threats, during which Kule allegedly told his wife that he would commit suicide.
At about 4:30am on Sunday, Kule reportedly left home, prompting his wife to alert family members, who searched for him around the area without success.
Police said his body was later discovered at about 7am hanging from a jackfruit tree in the garden of their neighbour, Mr Baluku Charles.
A report was subsequently made at Kisinga Police Station. Police visited and examined the scene before documenting it.
The body was taken to Bwera Hospital mortuary for a postmortem as investigations into the circumstances surrounding his death continue.
