Preliminary reports obtained by police indicate that Mutatina had been working in Kagadi District, returning home to his wife either after two weeks or sometimes a month.
However, on the fateful Saturday, Mutatina returned home unexpectedly at around 9 pm and was shocked to find his wife in their marital bedroom, engaging in an extramarital affair with another man.
