Police in Mityana is searching for Peter Bafirawala over allegedly stabbing to death his friend, Edward Ssekiwunga after catching him red-handed making love with his spouse in the garden.
Bafirawala had invited Ssekiwunga to his home in Busaato-Kyamagemule village, Kalangaalo sub-county, to celebrate Christmas together.
However, Ssekiwunga first went to watch a local football match, and by the time he arrived at Bafirawala’s home, it was approaching midnight. Ssekiwunga attempted to wake up Bafirawala but he pretended to be in a deep sleep while his wife who was awake engaged the visitor.
Bafirawala did not show any signs of waking up soon and the two started romancing. Emma Mukalazi, a resident claimed that when Ssekiwunga and Bafirawala’s wife decided to move out of the house to finish off their escapade. Little did they know that Bafirawala was faking sleep and was observing all their act.
“When they moved out of the house, Bafirawala waited for some time – probably waiting to find them making love. He followed their movement and caught them red-handed making love in a coffee plantation. He stabbed both them but most of the stabs went to Ssekiwunga,” Mukalazi said.
It is alleged that Bafirawala had long been hearing rumours about his friend, Ssekiwunga having an affair with his wife. It is possible that Bafirawala invited Ssekiwunga for a Christmas meal to either confirm or deny the rumours he had been hearing for some time.
Locals said Ssekiwunga’s body was discovered in critical condition in the plantation by a child, who later alerted the parents. Unfortunately, Ssekiwunga succumbed to his injuries while being rushed to the hospital for treatment.
“The scene of the crime has been visited by our task team. The body of the deceased had four stab wounds on the ribs and buttocks. We have recorded relevant statements from witnesses. The body of the deceased was evacuated from the scene and taken to Mityana Hospital mortuary for postmortem examination,” said Racheal Kawala, Wamala regional police spokesperson
The angry residents have since destroyed Bafirawala’s home and other property. Police have since launched a hunt for Bafirawala to face charges of murder.
Proverbs 6:29, 32, 34-35 TPT
[29] What makes you think that you can sleep with another man’s wife and not get caught? Do you really think you’ll get away with it? Don’t you know it will ruin your life? …
[32] Don’t be so stupid as to think you can get away with your adultery. It will destroy your life, and you’ll pay the price for the rest of your days. …
[34] A husband’s jealousy makes a man furious; he won’t spare you when he comes to take revenge.
[35] Try all you want to talk your way out of it— offer him a bribe and see if you can manipulate him with your money. Nothing will turn him aside when he comes to you with vengeance in his eyes!
“Ekyakuzaala kyekilikutta” …translated as you will die by what produced you …comes alive in this story.
