Kid’s Arm Cut Off As They Fight For Pilau At Graduation Party

1 Mins read

Shafic Sizomu, 15, had his right palm severed after a battle for a pilau, and Kiira region police are currently detaining three people on that charge.

At the central police station in Jinja, the three suspects being held are Yasin Eguma, Ziyadi Akidi, and Norman Kabale.

Sizomu, a resident of Wakalenge cell in the Jinja City Northern division, reportedly attended a graduation ceremony on Sunday night in the same locale.

At the serving table, Sizomu and his buddies formed a queue to get food. But, the suspects pushed them out of the way and seized the saucepan with the rice from them by force.

The two parties got into a fight over it, and one of the suspects pulled a machete out of his waist and chopped off Sizomu’s palm before running away.

Sizomu says he is improving steadily while receiving treatment at an unknown clinic in Jinja City.

Nonetheless, he claims that his ongoing infirmity will prevent him from managing his everyday responsibilities, and he wants the suspects to be brought to justice.

The suspects are accused of two counts each of attempted murder and intentionally causing great bodily harm to their victim, according to James Mubi, spokesman for the Kiira provincial police.

Mubi reports that the main suspect, who has only been known as Majid, is still at large and that efforts are being made to find him.

He claims that when officers searched his leased room early on Monday, they discovered a blood-stained machete under his bed.
