A woman identified has Ms Olivia Nangonzi is reportedly recovering in the hospital after her husband allegedly slashed her neck because she wanted to travel abroad for a nursing course.
It was gathered that when Ms Olivia Nangonzi who had been enrolled by her parents to study nursing in the US informed her husband Musa Kisakye, a boda boda operator (bicycle taxi rider), he became upset and attacked her by slitting her throat with a knife then turned the knife on himself and sliced his own neck too.

Speaking to journalists on the attack from her hospital bed, Nangonzi said;
“He thought he had killed me. Actually, I was too weak and I could not scream. That’s when he also cut himself in 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 (my skills).” She added.
According to Mr Rogers Seguya, the Mukono Police District commander, if Kisakye recovers, he would be charged with attempted murder.
