A Ugandan woman has had her throat slit by her husband for attempting to leave him for the United States.
Musa Kisakye allegedly attacked his wife, Olivia Nangonzi, with a knife after learning of her intention to travel to study nursing.
The motorcycle operator left a deep cut on her neck and then proceeded to slice himself, thinking his wife had died.
Ugandan news website, Daily Monitor reports that Kisakye is in critical condition at the hospital.
‘He thought he had killed me,’ his wife, who is also recovering at a hospital, is quoted as saying.
‘Actually, I was too weak and I could not scream. That’s when he also cut his neck.
‘I was preparing to set off to America this very week. Unfortunately, my husband wanted to kill me claiming that he wanted me to [stay] at home without upgrading.’
Police say Kisakye, who shares three children with his wife, would be charged with attempted murder if he recovers.
