MBALE CITY – A community in Muyembe Cell, Maluku Ward, is in shock after a domestic altercation turned deadly on Tuesday night, resulting in the death of a local entertainer and the arrest of his girlfriend.

A violent confrontation unfolded in Ntawo, Mukono Central Division, when a group of assailants allegedly led by a man identified as Peter launched a brutal attack on administrators overseeing land formerly owned by the late Ssekiboobo Ham Mukasa.
