In a chilling tale of love turned deadly, a woman identified as Ms Harriet Ampaire, 23, has been remanded by the Kasaali Grade 1 Magistrate in Kyotera district for the gruesome act of mutilating her boyfriend’s genitals.
The shocking incident unfolded after a simple domestic dispute, leading to a tragic end for Reagan Karamagi at the Uganda-Tanzania border.
As investigations into the matter remain incomplete, the state prosecutor, Ms Maureen Namusisi, seeks additional time to gather crucial evidence against this woman Ms Ampaire.
Presiding over the case, Magistrate Ignatius Ategeka concurs with the state’s request and orders Ampaire’s remand in Kasaali prison until August 14 for further mention of the case.
A deadly betrayal unfolds: The tragic consequences
Court records reveal that Ampaire, a former employee at a betting company, Fort Bet Uganda, carried out the heinous act on July 21 before fleeing to neighboring Tanzania.
Despite her attempt to evade capture, joint security operatives located and apprehended her. Meanwhile, Karamagi, a driver of imported vehicles at the Mutukula border, tragically lost his life as a result of the brutal attack.
In the midst of grief and the pursuit of justice, Robert Karamaji, the deceased’s brother, appeals to the court to transfer the case to Kasese due to the financial strain on the family members traveling to Kyotera. “We need to get justice for our deceased brother, but the distance is becoming a burden to us. The suspect is also from Kasese, and I think it would be better if we followed the case from our home area to minimize costs,” he expressed.

![[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.
