This kind of sharing diet between and within family is not unusual, really. I hear in the west there, they eat the cake left and right, no big deal.
But killing ones own daughter, hmmmm, I tend to agree with you that something is very wrong.
But then again upon second thought, this woman (mother) could be argued to be acquiring a "modern perspective" from her otherwise "jealousy-free" tradition of dieting. She has decide to modern-up and own / hoard her lover. Hence. jealousy, aha aha aha

Mother kills daughter over lover
By Robert Muhereza
Oct 2, 2003
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.
