Nsubuga has been a famous National Resistance Movement mobiliser in Mukono heading the organization of ‘Mzee Neera Neera’ comprising mainly bodas and taxi drivers.
Preliminary investigations indicate that on Friday, May 17, 2024, Nsubuga returned home and had supper with his wife together with their two children.
They later developed a misunderstanding which resulted in a fight. The woman overpowered the man and then stabbed him around the neck resulting in his death.
Musimenta kept the body in the bedroom until Sunday night when she informed a friend who wanted to help her bury the body in a pit dug around the toilet.
The friend informed intelligence that responded and arrested the woman while trying to escape from the area. Musimenta is a personal assistant and administrator at NJ Business Solutions.
The Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, SSP Patrick Onyango has confirmed her arrest and detention at Mukono Police Division.
The body of the deceased was taken to KCCA city mortuary for postmortem.
Surprisingly, police also recovered two army shoes, and a toy pistol during the search from their home whose owner is yet to be identified.
Mike Ssegawa, the Deputy Resident District Commissioner for Mukono District has condemned the action taken by the Musimenta on his husband, he as appealed to residents especially marrieds to always open up whenever they face misunderstandings.
“Instead of internally suffering alone, talk to a friend, visit your spiritual leader or even government offices, they are here to help you. Remaining silent can only cause more harm than good.” Ssegawa noted.
