her husband to death in Kisoro District, acted in self-defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This development comes as police are actively hunting for Juliet Nyiraguhirwe, who ran into hiding after allegedly murdering her husband, Bosco Rurakabije, 35, following a family dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tragic incident occurred on April 7, 2026, at approximately 1:00 AM at the couple\u2019s home in Gasenyi Village, Mabungo Parish, Nyarusiza Sub-county, Kisoro District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the police spokesperson, ASP Elly Maate, reports indicate that on the fateful night, the deceased returned home in a state of intoxication and immediately engaged in a heated verbal altercation with his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The confrontation, which unfolded in the presence of their son, Irakiza Fabiano, 15, allegedly saw the deceased arm himself with a knife and attempt to stab his wife during the quarrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigations reveal that in a desperate struggle for survival, the wife overpowered him, managed to wrestle the weapon away, and proceeded to stab him twice in the back before she fled to an unknown location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maate confirmed to this reporter that the incident was reported to police by the area chairperson, Venansi Munyanganizi, after which a team of police officers immediately visited the crime scene, which was thoroughly documented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critical exhibits, including the murder weapon (a knife) and a slasher, were recovered from the scene, while the deceased&#8217;s body was conveyed to Kisoro Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police confirmed that preliminary inquiries show the couple had a long history of domestic violence, which they termed a tragic culmination of persistent marital conflict, as efforts to arrest the suspect continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KISORO, UGANDA &#8211; Police imaging reports indicate that the wife,
