KABALE � A mother in Ibumba Village, Rwamucucu
sub-county, battered her daughter to death recently.
She accused
the daughter of getting intimate with her man.
"This is
beyond human imagination. How can a mother and a daughter share the same
man? Anyway, even if it happens it was not right for the woman to kill
her own daughter," the area LC-III chairman, Mr Besigye Kyerere,
said.
The Kabale
Police Commander, Mr Martin Amoru, said the mother has been
arrested.
He
identified the accused as Ms Allen Tumwiine, 38, and the deceased as
Phionah Nsiime, 14, a primary five pupil.
Kyerere
said that mother and daughter first clashed early this year but the
village council intervened. Their man was expelled from the
village.
"I was
personally shocked when Miriyano [boyfriend] resurfaced in his former
lover�s [Allen] home," he said.
Kyerere
said things got worse when the said boyfriend gave the daughter Shs 500
for a snack at school.
"When the
girl told the mother about the offer, the mother got hold of her and
started beating her till she died. I am now taking her body for burial
after the postmortem?," he said. |
