Old Kampala Police have foiled a man’s plan to kill his wife.

“A member of the bodaboda look out team contracted to over see the gruesome mission tipped us with spot on information which lead to his arrest”, ASP Nyangoma said.
Initially he tried to avoid meeting the hired killers physically but later accepted after several negotiations.
A fee of one million shillings was agreed upon after a number of negotiations.
A number of voice recordings were presented involving the intended execution plans.
According to the hired killer, Katalyebwa preferred the would be victim to be killed as he was on a business trip to Nairobi arguing that this would make every one believe that the wife was killed in his absence.
