A man in Nakasongola have committed suicide after his wife fell in love with a pastor.
According to Assistant Superintendent of Police, Sam Twiineamazima, the Savannah region police spokesperson, the incident happened on Saturday when James Kayongo, 32 was found hanging on a tree at around 8am in his garden by the area Local Council one chairman, Edward Kamya.
“It is alleged that the deceased had longstanding domestic violence with his wife, he had promised to commit suicide because he was accusing his wife of being in love with a pastor. His attempt to stop her from going to the church failed hence decided to commit suicide by hanging,” Twiineamazima said.
He said police responded to the scene and recorded relevant statements from relevant witnesses and exhibits including a rope and white shoes were recovered from the scene.
Police said the body was later handed over to relatives after carrying out a postmortem as inquiries continue.
