The incident occurred on March 12th, 2025, at Bukitongo B village, where Kurima slit his wife’s throat with a hoe over allegations of adultery.
According to Denis Walukawu, the couple’s son, Kurima had been living in Kenya and returned home on the evening of March 12. He began arguing with his wife, accusing her of bringing other men into their home while he was away.

Julie Namara, the Resident District Commissioner of Namisindwa, confirmed that Kurima was arrested in Kenya and brought back to Uganda.
