The incident occurred on Friday morning October, 21, 2022 at about 1:00am at Kasekera Trading Center in Mijwala Sub County, Ssembabule when a man stabbed his colleague to death after a bar fight over a bar girl.
However the Mijwala Gombolola Internal Security Officer, Isaaka Byaruhanga said on the phone that the fight started at a bar at night between Habibu Byaruhanga and another man but people intervened and separated the duo.
Moments later the defeated man Byaruhanga returned with a knife hidden in a jacket and stabbed Joseph Kakembo (20) the son of the area LC1 chairman, Joseph Misinde,60.
The police spokesperson of Greater Masaka Muhammad Nsubuga confirmed the incident and said it had been recorded at Ssembabule Police Station as murder by stabbing Semb CRB652/2022.
However Nsubuga said the police were notified about the murder at about 2:00am on Friday, when Misinde, the father reported the death of his son. According to Nsubuga, the two men met at Kasekera Trading Center on the night of Thursday, where they interacted and during the exchange of words they disagreed and picked a quarrel and one stabbed the other and fled.
He further added that football fans who were returning from a video shark found the deceased helpless and in great pain, holding his chest. He explained to them and in response they tried to rush him to Ssembabule Health Center IV but he died before reaching the hospital and they took the body back home.
However according to Byaruhanga’s version, men often turn up in big numbers at a bar owned by Jane in the trading center whenever there are new girls who come to serve there.
He said on a fateful night, the two men sought to love a new bar girl both bought her drinks and later picked an argument as to who has spotted her first.
He further explained that they started a fight but they were separated and Byaruhanga left the scene only to return with a knife and stabbed the deceased who was still at the scene and fled.
He said the suspect’s wife on learning about the incident picked up her two children and left the village back to her home in Kabale fearing the deceased’s family might want to get revenge and harm her and her children.
Nsubuga told Newslex Point that investigations into the incident had commenced and a hunt for the suspect was underway. The funeral for the deceased was scheduled to take place on Friday after the police post Mortem.
