The duo later returned to their home. They were not seen till the 6.01.2024, when residents got concerned and checked their house. They found the two victims dead. Both their heads were smashed with a blunt object.

Three suspects including the husband, Musinguzi Deus, her step son, Ainemukama Julius, aged 25 and her co-wife, Kyohairwe Rosemary, aged 50 were arrested, due to an existing family and wrangle.
