Police in Iganga District have arrested a 27-year-old teacher over the alleged killing of his pregnant wife in a shocking case of domestic violence( Daily Monitor)
The deceased has been identified as Jackline Namusobya, 24, while the suspect is Dennis Kamya, 27. Both are residents of Nankoma in Bugiri District.
The incident occurred on March 30, 2026, at around 10:00am in Nampirika B Village, Nakalama Sub-county, Iganga District.
According to the deceased’s brother, Paul Musobya, the suspect had gone to his in-laws’ home looking for his wife and was received by his mother-in-law. He reportedly followed her into the kitchen where she was preparing tea and attacked her.
Musobya said he attempted to intervene but was injured in the process, sustaining a wound to his left cheek.
In the aftermath of the attack, the suspect allegedly set the house on fire before he was subdued by an angry mob.
The unborn child also died during the incident.
Busoga East police spokesperson Michael Kasadha confirmed that a team of detectives led by the OC CID Iganga visited the scene, recorded statements from witnesses, and transported the body to Iganga Hospital mortuary for a postmortem.
