The police at Old Kampala is to get an exhumation certificate to retrieve the body of a house wife that was assaulted due to domestic violence and died from Mulago hospital.
The incident happened at Kisenyi Parish in Kampala Central where the husband identified as Baluku Abdallah got information that his deceased wife was with another man.
He followed his wife Aisha Nandutu within the same area and indeed found her with a lover.
The deputy police spokesperson of Kampala Metropolitan Police Luke Owoyesigyire says that an altercation ensued where Baluku and another woman yet to be identified assaulted her badly and later started vomiting of blood.
The beaten wife was then rushed to Mulago hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
Because the deceased was a Muslim , the relatives picked the body for a descent burial unknowing that the victim had died as a result of assault.
It's after burial, that the family learnt that she had been assaulted .
Oweyesigire adds that since a postmortem was not conducted , they have to seek a court order to exhume the body of Aisha Nandutu for examination to do it.
Baluku Abdallah was arrested and will be charged with the murder of his wife by assault in a domestic violence episode.
