Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Monica Amongi, 25, an Electoral Commission (EC) employee, who was allegedly murdered by her ex-lover in Lira City recently, was taking care of three of her late brother\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

She was reportedly working at the EC offices in Kwania District.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a humble and quiet lady who took great care of her late brother\u2019s three children and was always home by 5pm after work,\u201d Mr Dickens Ogwal, the chairman of Anai Ober cell where the deceased was allegedly killed on March 29, said yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter separating with her ex-lover last year, she rented her own room,\u201d Mr Ogwal added.<\/p>\n

Mr Jasper Awio, who formerly worked with the defunct Lira-based weekly Rupiny newspaper, confessed to killing Amongi.<\/p>\n

This publication established that trouble started around August last year when the deceased told the boyfriend that their relationship was over.<\/p>\n

However, Awio declined to end it. Amongi\u2019s body was discovered in her house on April 2.<\/p>\n

Awio, who had vanished, handed himself in to Lira City West Police Station, confessing to the killing.<\/p>\n

Mr Jimmy Patrick Okema, the North Kyoga regional police spokesperson, confirmed that the duo had separated after their relationship turned sour.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe assaulted her and cut her throat before locking up the house and disappearing,\u201d Mr Okema said .<\/p>\n

\u201cHer body was then found on April 2 when the neighbours noticed a stench emitting from her house and a swarm of flies covering the door,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Okema said detectives from Ojwina Police Station visited the crime scene and took the body to Lira Regional Referral Hospital for post-mortem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe suspect handed himself over to the police station though he developed some complications and we rushed him to Lira Regional Referral Hospital where he was discharged on Tuesday. He reportedly tried to commit suicide by taking some poisonous substances,\u201d Mr Okema said.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect will undergo a medical examination to examine his mental status.<\/p>\n

His file will be sent to the Resident State Attorney for scrutiny and advice before he is arraigned before court on murder charges.<\/p>\n

Mr Charles Obira, the deceased\u2019s neighbour, said after the couple separatedx, the alleged killer did not give up.<\/p>\n

He also decided to rent a room in the same neighbourhood but was always trailing her movements.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Monica decided to separate with Awio because he was always violent and she had been a victim of domestic violence. But after their separation, Awio was still interested in her and could come to her house at any time,\u201d Mr Obira said.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s aunt speaks out<\/b><\/p>\n

Ms Susan Ajok, the deceased\u2019s aunt, said her niece had informed them that she was scared that Awio would kill her because he had on several occasions threatened her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter their separation, Monica told me that she was no longer interested in having love affairs with any man and wanted to concentrate on taking care of her late brother\u2019s children,\u201d Ms Ajok said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe also told me that Awio was always threatening to kill her, accusing her of having rejected him for another man. But Monica was not having any other relationship because of the trauma she had undergone in the abusive relationship,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
