Police in Kamuli district have launched a manhunt for a 34-year-old woman who cut off her husband's genitals as a result of domestic violence. The suspect, identified as Susan Namuganza, is currently on the run.
Her husband, Kawubanya Moses, is the director of Serena Children's Home. Both are residents of Busana Zone, Nabirumba Ward, Nabwigulu Subcounty in Kamuli district.According to Namukaya Esther, the victim's sister, she blames Namuganza for having poor relations with her husband's relatives.
