Two men are admitted to Soroti Regional Referral Hospital after being severely injured in a fight over an elderly woman who has 10 children.
The victims, Charles Okwale,38, a butcher and Joseph Esenu, 48, a boda boda rider, engaged in a fist fight using daggers and hand hoes after the former was allegedly caught red handed in bed with the latter’s wife on Sunday night.
Okwale sustained deep wounds on the chest, arms and legs and is in critical condition.
Esenu narrated that the fight broke out when he caught Okwale and his wife in a sexual act.
Esenu narrated that after leaving a beer party on Sunday together with the wife at 11:30pm, she later sneaked out of the house.
When he made a search, he found the two in bed in the house of a neighbour, who was away.
According to Esenu, the duo has been in a long term intimate relationship since 2015 and his attempts to call for its end always fell on deaf ears.
He said this was the third time he was getting them red handed narrating that he first caught them red handed in the bush and forgave them, the second time was in 2018, when his clan members intervened and fined him Shs200,000.
