Francesca Amony, a 34-year-old Ugandan
lawyer and human rights activist, has been
arrested.
--
She was nabbed for the alleged murder of
her husband, Dr. Joseph Etuk.
Amony, a senior member of the Democratic
Party (DP) and a former National Secretary
for the DP Women’s League, presented
herself to Lacor police post in Bardege-
Layibi division, Gulu city, after she allegedly
stabbed the medical doctor to death.
The couple reportedly developed a
misunderstanding at their home in Keyi ‘’A’’
Cell in Kabedpong Ward, Gulu city on
Friday, October 28, at around 11 pm.
Amony allegedly picked up a knife and
stabbed Etuk who died on the way to Gulu
Regional Referral hospital. After the
incident, she reported herself to the police
for alleged murder.
David Ongom Mudong, the Aswa River
Regional Police Spokesperson, who
confirmed the incident in a statement on
Saturday, October 29, said a case of murder
by stabbing has been preferred against
Amony – vide SD Ref: 17/29/10/2022.
Mudong explained that preliminary
investigations gathered by police indicate
that on Friday night at around 11pm, the
couple developed a misunderstanding. In
the scuffle that followed, Amony picked a
knife and stabbed her husband.
He added that Etuk died while being rushed
to Gulu Regional Referral Hospital.
Mudong says a team of homicide
detectives visited the scene and recovered
the knife.
The former councillor is not new to
violence. In 2017, the Gulu High Court
convicted her on two counts of aggravated
torture of her two housemaids.
She was accused of burning the girls,
Acen Akello, 13, and Flavia Anena, 17, with
a hot flat iron for allegedly stealing UGX60
000 from her house.
The victims sustained burn marks on their
forehead and arms. Amony admitted
burning the victims.
Amony in her submission said she is not
aware that a flat iron is a deadly weapon.
Chief Magistrate Deo Sejjemba while
granting bail to the suspect, reasoned that
it would be injustice to imprison Amony
with her baby and asked her to produce her
sureties, who paid cash of UGX500,000
each and a non cash of UGX1.2m each.
