A man in Jinja district has allegedly committed suicide by poisoning after suspecting his girlfriend of dumping him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deceased is 48-year-old Jafari Kuneena, a resident of Lwanyama village in Buyengo sub-county, Jinja district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kuneena allegedly decided to take his own life after discovering voice notes on his girlfriend’s WhatsApp, in which she expressed admiration for another man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This led to a disagreement between the love birds on Monday. Kuneena then asked his girlfriend to leave his house and went to a retail shop, where he purchased rat poison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He mixed the poison with his food, consumed it, and fell asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concerned neighbors noticed that Kuneena had unusually fallen asleep early and contacted local leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They obtained permission to forcefully open the front door of his house and rushed him to a private clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Kuneena passed away on Tuesday. The girlfriend, whose identity is unknown, has reportedly gone into hiding out of fear of the community backlash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kuneena’s body is lying at Buwenge Health Center IV mortuary pending postmortem examination before being handed over to his family for burial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A health worker, speaking anonymously, revealed severe damage to Kuneena’s liver, kidneys, and small intestines, which may have caused his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Swaibu Kiwaala, the area LC 1 chairperson, revealed that Kuneena confessed to the poisoning incident while on his sickbed. Unfortunately, his condition worsened in the morning, leading to his passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kiwaala urged the public to find alternative means of resolving relationship disputes instead of resorting to suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He emphasized that suicide creates long-lasting misunderstandings among the deceased’s family members, the community, and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Mubi, the Kiira Region police spokesperson, says that cases of infidelity, extramarital relationships, and mistrust are significant contributors to suicide in their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She, however, noted that many cases go unreported due to concerns about tarnishing the deceased’s family image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mubi mentioned that the Police Child and Family Protection Unit has scheduled daily sessions to sensitize couples on managing relationship challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
