Police in Natete Division have launched a manhunt for a woman suspected of attempting to kill her husband in a violent domestic incident that took place in the early hours of Monday morning in Busega, Rubaga Division.

According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson SP Racheal Kawala, the incident occurred on January 6, 2026, at approximately 2:00 a.m.

The 29-year-old male victim, a resident of Busega Parish and a salesman with Double Q Sinotruk, was allegedly stabbed multiple times by his wife, identified only as Joy.

The victim sustained deep cuts and serious head injuries during the attack.

The landlord raised the alarm shortly after the incident, while a friend quickly transported the injured man to Rubaga Hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment.

Officers who responded to the scene discovered blood stains on the floor, walls, and clothing inside the house, along with a panga believed to have been used in the assault.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the couple had been living together for about two years and shared a nine-month-old baby.

Police also learned that the suspect had abandoned the child with the victim on January 1, 2026, just days before the attack.

The suspect fled the scene and remains at large. Police are continuing their efforts to track her down and bring her to justice as investigations proceed.

SP Kawala used the incident to remind the public that men can also be victims of domestic violence, urging all victims to speak out and seek help.

She encouraged individuals to utilize the Child and Family Protection Units at police stations for support.
