Mr. Kimanya Simon, a teacher who is averred to have murdered International Hospital Kampala (IHK) Midwife Viola Kakai has been arrested.
Kimanya was arrested by Police detectives attached to the State House Anti-Corruption Unit. He was arrested from Wanyakala, Isingiro district where he has been in hiding after allegedly murdering his wife.
Viola Kakai, 32 years and a mother of three children was hacked to death following a domestic brawl on 1st August, 2020. Reports indicated that Kakai’s children witnessed her being hacked using an axe.
It is averred that the elder daughter pleaded with him but he could not manage his anger. She moved out and called the neighbors to intervene and found her lying in a pool of blood.
It is alleged that Kakai was dropped from her workplace by a friend, but on hearing the sound of the car engine, her husband, who, it is said, often quarreled whenever she returned home, came out and ‘stoned the vehicle’, forcing the unknown colleague to speed off.
The husband suspected the driver to be in a relationship with his wife.
