Father kills 16-year-old boy for chewing his biological daughter

A brutal father has been imprisoned by police in Kamuli District after allegedly bonking his daughter and then beheading a senior three male pupil.

Following his capture with his adolescent female hugging at a neighborhood borehole in Bugobi village in Bugulumbya sub-county in Kamuli district on October 5, the suspect Benon Ntalo threatened the dead James Kakonso, a student at Bugulumbya secondary school in Kamuli district.

The young pair, believing Ntale was unaware, continued to romp behind his back despite his warnings going unheeded.

Locals allege that on that fateful day, Sunday morning, Ntale chopped Kakonso several times using a sharp machete and dumped his lifeless body in a trench while passersby witnessed. When questioned about his actions, Kakonso told the alarmed locals that the body belonged to a thief who was dumped in his neighborhood from another area.

But locals who identified the deceased ran to his parents and informed them that their son had been dumped in the trench.

Kakonso’s father, Joseph Muwedere, says that one of the residents informed him how Ntalo had killed his son.

“We are neighbors and I think that Ntalo would have engaged me to devise means of jointly disciplining our children rather than opting for corporal punishment, which ended fatally,” he said.

Busoga North police spokesperson, Michael Kasadha, says that Ntalo is in custody at Kamuli central police station as the prime suspect in Kakonso’s killing. He says that they also arrested one Adam Kalenzi and Eria for attempting to aid Ntalo to conceal the crime.

A postmortem report released by Kamuli general hospital shows that the teenager had deep cuts on his head and strangulation marks on the neck.
