Butebo, (UG):- The Territorial Police in eastern Uganda’s Butebo District have arrested a 50-year-old man and his 20-year-old son over the alleged murder of 49-year-old Naula Eseza through a brutal assault.
According to the police statement, the incident occurred on June 5, 2024, at Bukatikoko Village, Petete Town Council in Butebo District.
The deceased, who the police identified as Ms Naula Eseza had returned home from drinking in the morning around 4 am, when the husband identified as Keeba Isaaya and his son Kedi Stephen confronted Naula, demanding to know where she had been.
Without allowing her to respond, the two men then proceeded to severely beat her.
