Police Launch Manhunt for Couple Over Murder in Mityana Love Affair Scandal

Police in Mityana are searching for a man and his wife in connection with the murder of a 48-year-old man over a love affair.

The deceased has been identified as Ssekiwunga Edward, alias God, a resident of Busaato Kyamagemule village, Kalangalo sub-county, in the Mityana district.

Ssekiwunga was stabbed to death on December 25, 2024, at around 11:00 PM in the same village after being caught in a sexual encounter with the wife of his best friend, the primary suspect, Bafirawala Peter.

According to reports, on the fateful day, Bafirawala had invited the deceased and other people to a Christmas party at his home. However, the deceased first went to Kalangalo trading center to watch a football match and later arrived at the suspect’s home around 11:00pm. By then, most of the household had gone to bed, but the suspect’s wife was still awake, and the two reportedly went outside together.

SP Kawala Racheal, the PRO of Wamala Region Police, told this news site that when Bafirawala woke up and noticed his wife was missing, he became suspicious and followed them, only to allegedly find them in a compromising situation in a nearby coffee plantation.

Preliminary investigations reveal that Bafirawala stabbed both individuals, inflicting severe injuries, before fleeing the scene with his wife.

The following morning, a child discovered the critically injured Ssekiwunga and alerted their parents. Tragically, he succumbed to his injuries while being rushed for medical treatment.

Police visited and examined the crime scene. The deceased’s body bore four stab wounds—two on the ribs and two on the buttocks—and was transported to Mityana Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination.

Following the incident, angry residents destroyed the suspect’s home. SP Kawala confirmed that a manhunt has been launched for Bafirawala and his wife, who remain at large.
