Police in Nwoya are hunting for a 24-year-old man over allegedly killing his father after he mocked him for being single and impotent.
The resident of Pakiya Village, Lii Sub County in Nwoya District reportedly kicked his 50-year-old father, Richard Oneka, on the abdomen twice when his father mocked him.
The police officer in charge of Nwoya Central Police Station (CPS), Kenneth Agaba said the incident happened a few minutes after the duo returned home from a drinking joint.
Whereas police were still investigating what exactly led to the incident, Agaba explained that a preliminary finding indicated that the suspect was reportedly angered by the deceased’s utterances prompting him to react.
The matter was reported by the deceased’s cousin brother, Quinto Okello, at Koch-goma police station where a case of murder was registered.
Jennifer Awor, the deceased’s wife said she tried to intervene and stop her son from fighting the dad but gave up when she was overpowered.
She said during the bitter exchange, the deceased referred to her son as an impotent man who has since failed to marry a wife to feed him but instead remained dependant on his dad.
