Police in Luwero are holding a commercial sex worker accused of stabbing her client to death following a dispute over payment.
The suspect is Grace Namanya, 33, a commercial sex worker at Nankulabye trading center in Bamunanika sub-county, Luwero district.
She is accused of stabbing to death Moses Bakka, 45, a resident of the same village at around 10pm on Sunday night.
The Savannah Regional Police Spokesperson Sam Twiineamazima, says that preliminary investigations indicate that Bakka went to Namanya’s house and offered her Shs4000 for sex but she demanded Shs10,000.
Twiineamazima adds that the deceased resorted to force which resulted in a fight before Namanya picked a knife and stabbed him to death. Twiineamazima said that officers from Bamunanika Police Station rushed to the scene where they found Bakka’s lifeless body.
The suspect had already fled the scene and was arrested from a hideout in Kikyusa town. Eriab Ssemanda, the LC1 boss of Nankulabye says that the deceased has left behind three children from his former marriage.
Last week, Police arrested William Lugemwa, 45, and his wife Jesca Payesu,35, both residents of Kigavu village in Luwero sub-county for allegedly causing the death of their seven-month-old baby Immaculate Samanya during a fight over allegations of infidelity.
