A harrowing incident has occurred in Muganiro Village, Bulwenge Parish, Buhehe Sub County in Busia District where a 24 year old youth raped a 70 year old woman and later inserted a sharp stick through her private parts leading to her death.
According to the Bukedi South Police Spokesperson, IP Moses Mugwe, the incident happened on Monday, 11th November, 2024 at about 5:00PM.
The suspect was identified as Bwire Davis, Olujaru, a resident of Buganiro village, Bulwenge Parish, Buhehe Sub County in Busia district while the deceased was identified as Taaka Mary Namukuba.
Mugwe says that at around 5:00PM, a one Wafula Victor heard an alarm coming from his grandmother’s house and on responding to the alarm, he saw Olujara coming out of the house and when he entered to check on the grandmother, he saw a stick which had been pushed in the private parts of the grandmother and it had penetrated up to the neck.
He immediately called his grandfather, Odwori Malingu who came and asked the wife what had happened and she revealed to him that it’s Olujara, a neighbour who had raped her and pushed a stick inside her private part (Vagina).
Odwori then pulled out the sick that had blood and he took it to Buhehe Police Post, and then rushed the victim to Masafu Hospital for medical attention.
The suspect was then apprehended by the Buhehe Police at 10:00PM on the same day.
“However, at 11:30PM, the victim who had been admitted at Masafu Government hospital passed on,” says Mugwe.
He says while a case of Rape resulting into Murder was registered, Olujura was medically examined, with preliminary findings linking him to being a drug addict!
A stick which was inserted into the private part of the deceased was recovered and exhibited with blood stain and samples picked from both the deceased and the suspect pending submission to the relevant authorities for scientific analysis as evidence.
