ISINGIRO: Police are holding a 20-year-old Abahe David in its custody for the murder of his younger brother Abasa Joshua aged 13. David is a resident of Omukihangire cell, Bungongi Parish, Nyakitunda cell, Isingiro district.
David saw it fit to kill his younger brother Joshua after the latter demanded the former for his shs5,000. Apparently, the lending of the money happened on 23rd May, 2022. Last week is when the incident happened.
According to Fred Enanga, Uganda Police Spokesperson, David got a panga, cut his brother’s finger off, inflicted multiple head injuries and broke his neck.
After that, he dragged the body and put it in his house. Authorities eventually arrested and charged him with murder.
Elsewhere, police has launched a serious manhunt for a 15-year-old male juvenile, Sserugga Samson. Samson is a pupil of Mabombwe Church of Uganda Nursery and Primary School.
Authorities accuse him of murdering his 4-year-old younger sister, Namubiru Desire. This happened at their home in Mabombwe Kirindi village, Mende sub county, in Wakiso district.
“The victim had serious injuries on the forehead, the face, arms, stomach, back and legs. She succumbed to the injuries. Both the mother of the victim Namubiru Daisy and the suspect concealed the murder until when it was brought to the attention of the police,” Enanga noted in a statement on Tuesday.
Enanga further said that many families consider sibling abuse as a normal passage and because of that, most children experience it. However, he said it is quite higher in families that have domestic violence going on or child abuse.
“Young children are particularly vulnerable and told to keep family matters private. They are often threatened not to report it to anyone for fear of breaking family bonds or threats of punishment. In addition, other families regard violence between siblings as rivalry, and simply advise the victims to either toughen up or fight back,” Enanga said.

![[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.
