Kween district police are investigating circumstances surrounding a very queer incident. It involves a man who raped a girl, burned her body, and later committed suicide. This happened at Kortowamalil, Cherangut parish, Kwosir sub-county in Kween district.
The police revealed that a one Abraham Sande, on August 29, grabbed 8-year-old Leticia Chemutai. He then locked her up in his grass-thatched house and raped her.
“After the heinous act, he slit her throat using a knife killing her instantly. He abandoned the body inside and set the house on fire,” authorities revealed.
Apparently, as he watched the house burn, he then took poison to try and take away his own life. Luckily, his neighbors responded quickly and took him to Kapeoron health centre IV for treatment.
While he received treatment at the hospital, the neighbors found out about his gruesome acts of rape and murder and informed the police. The police followed him to hospital for further management before an interrogation but he died.
“He was pronounced dead on arrival and both remains are still at the hospital mortuary as inquiries continue,” said the Sipi regional police spokesperson Rogers Taitika.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
