Lira<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a somber mood in Olor-kede village, Abongorwot parish, Agali Sub County in Lira district yesterday after a man hacked his wife to death and set himself and the wife’s dead body a blaze, burning both of them to ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calvin Otim a local of the area identified the deceased woman as Barbra Akech, of Oyima Ngila clan, aged 20 while the man has been identified as Odongo a local of Okwang Sub County in, Otuke district and belonged to Abwor Bako Omilo clan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otim said Odongo had an affair with Akech Barbra but he was earlier arrested and imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After completing his jail sentence, Odongo went to Akech Barbra\u2019s parents\u2019 home in Agali Sub County and they started living together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otim said Odongo on Saturday night bought a match box and returned home and late in the night, he hacked Akech to death in suspected misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otim said they suspect that Odongo later burnt Akech\u2019s clothes before setting their house which contained Akech\u2019s body a blaze, then entered the same house and got burnt together with his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their bodies were discovered on Sunday morning by locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otim said police visited the crime scene and it was agreed that the clan of the deceased will cater for burial expense of their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effort to speak to police over the matter was futile by press time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
