The death of athlete Rebecca Cheptegei, who was doused in petrol and set ablaze by her former boyfriend, Dickson Ndiema Marangach, has renewed questions on government’s implementation of the Domestic Violence Act.
The 33-year-old was last week buried in Bukwo District, days after Marangach succumbed to injuries he sustained during the attack.
In June, Susan Namuganza, 34, cut of genitals of her husband, Mr Moses Kawubanya, 45, at their home in Busana Zone, Nabirumba Ward in Kamuli District.
Ms Namuganza was later arrested in Bulange, Namutumba District where she had fled, returned to Kamuli District and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Last month, a man only identified as Alex, cut off the right hand of his lover, Ms Catherine Mbabazi, a resident of Bufunda Cell in Bufunda Ward, Bufunda Division in Ibanda District, in an altercation over her alleged infidelity.
