Residents of Nsagu village in Kajjansi town council this morning woke up to a tragedy after one of their residents strangled his wife and killed her instantly.

Problems started after the estranged husband Kuraishi  Lukandwa 48 year  a mechanic at Kisekka market in Kampala defiled a fifteen year old house help.

Apollo Kagwa the LCI chairman says Lukandwa on Friday from work pounced on the house help and defiled her who later narrated the ordeal to the Lukandwa's wife.

The suspect is reported to have fled his marital home for two days until the deceased called him to come back home and settle the matter amicably.

Residents say when Lukandwa came back home Sunday night, the wife asked him to take the victim to the hospital for treatment,this led to a fight that resulted into the death of the wife before he escaped.

Police in Entebbe rushed to the scene and took the body to Mulago mortuary while the defiled juvenile has also been taken for treatment as the hunt for Lukandwa starts.
