Businessman Hangs Himself to Death with an Extension Cable over Love Affairs

Police in Uganda are investigating the cause of death of a 33- year-old man whose body was found hanging in an apartment in Masaka Town on Saturday.

Adriane Mujuni, was a businessman in the country’s capital city, Kampala, according to local police.

One of Mujuni’s neighbours told Daily Monitor that he [Mujuni] has been staying with his girlfriend, but the couple developed misunderstandings forcing the woman to abandon their rented room two weeks ago.

“They have been quarrelling regularly and we would hear them fighting on a daily basis which forced the girlfriend to flee the house,” one of the neighbours who preferred anonymity said.

According to Mr Vincent Sunday, the police Community Liaison Officer Southern Region, Mujuni’s neighbour reported to police that they had not seen him for several days and his room was locked.

“We broke into the room only to find the body hanging in the room with an extension cable tied around the neck,” Mr Sunday said.

Mr Sunday said the girlfriend had earlier   filed a case at Masaka Central Police accusing her lover  of  domestic violence and infidelity.
