Furthermore, a gunshot rang out, followed by Okanya’s cries for help. Rushing to the bedroom, the family found him lying in a pool of blood.
They called for help, and neighbours quickly responded. Okanya was taken to Doctor Plus Hospital but was later referred to Mbale Hospital for further management.
Police were notified of the incident and promptly visited the scene. Officers recovered a pistol with two magazines containing rounds of live ammunition and one cartridge from the bedroom.
Bukedi South Police spokesperson Moses Mugwe said preliminary investigations suggest the incident stemmed from domestic violence.”If proven, this case institutes a felony, which is punishable under the law,” Mugwe stated.

Additionally, the police condemned the act, calling on the public to report domestic violence cases promptly to prevent such tragedies.
