An angry mob in Kabale took Justice in their hands and handed a 37-year-old ex-convict a death sentence for attempting to stab his family members in a fight for property. While they did not stone or burn the deceased, angry locals chased him off a cliff where he fell and died.
Two weeks after his release from Ndorwa Government Prison, where he served a five year jail term for murder Odomaro Mucunguzi, a resident of Nyarungwe village in Kaharo parish attempted to commit another heinous crime but this time was unsuccessful.
Elly Maate the Kigezi Regional Police spokesperson told us on phone that Odomaro was sent to hell on Sunday. He had earlier been convicted for the murder of a one Karama, with whom they had a land dispute in 2012.
This time however, he grabbed a Machete and stabbed his elder brother Kakarasio Kabarekye before going into hiding and later resurfacing on Sunday morning when he attempted to stab his father.
Richard Kapere the Nyarungwe village Chairman says family members sounded an alarm calling for help, but Odomaro overpowered them and took off as soon as locals descended on him. However, even the devil let his hand go and the animal fell off a cliff at Kabaraga hills, rolled into a valley, hitting his head and died instantly.
Maate tells us that Odomaro’s shameless body was taken to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital mortuary for postmortem.
“Until recently when he was released, he started where he had stopped. He cut his brother almost to death point but fortunately the brother didn’t die and he escaped fearing to be arrested until on Sunday at 8 am, he surfaced and threatened to cut his father. He wanted land, he was given a piece, he sold it and today he had come to claim for a balance but they said no. out of annoyance, he wanted to finish them off but they alarmed the rest of the village mates who came to their rescue and as he was escaping from them, he fell off a cliff where he died instantly. I think God was merciful enough and said today he should not kill another person, he would rather die himself” Maate said.
