110 year old man detained after ending 109 year old wife’s death over denied seggs

Authorities in Uganda are investigating a heartbreaking incident in Ntungamo district, where a 110-year-old man has been detained following the death of his 109-year-old wife. While the exact cause of death remains under investigation, initial reports suggest a complex and sensitive situation.

According to police spokesperson Samson Kasasira, the deceased, Costansio Bakasisa, reportedly refused her husband Dominic Babiiha’s request for intimacy due to feeling unwell. The couple, married for many years, lived in the same house but reportedly slept in separate rooms.

Following Bakasisa’s refusal, Babiiha allegedly attacked her with a billhook, resulting in her death. The couple’s grandchildren, who witnessed the incident, alerted the neighbors. When they arrived, they found Bakasisa deceased and Babiiha unconscious in a locked room, with an agrochemical bottle nearby.

The police spokesperson stressed that the investigation is ongoing and the cause of death is yet to be officially confirmed. It is crucial to remember that respect and sensitivity should be maintained when discussing such delicate situations, particularly involving individuals of such advanced age.

While the initial reports raise questions and concerns, it is important to avoid speculation and allow the authorities to conduct their investigation thoroughly. We should remember that both the deceased and the detained individual deserve due process and respect during this difficult time.

Our thoughts are with the families and community affected by this tragedy. We hope for a swift and thorough investigation that provides clarity and justice.
