Relatives of 25-year-old Monica Nabukenya in Mpigi district were shocked to learn of the gruesome murder of their daughter by her Israeli man who killed her and hid her remains in a septic tank after the DNA test result of their child returned negative.
Read Wated, 58, a resident of Kalagala Village in Mpigi District first reported a case of the disappearance of his wife on July 16, 2023, at Kayabwe Police Station, allegedly intending to divert the investigation.
But as fate would have it , Nabukenya’s relatives, who had also received reports of her ‘disappearance’, arrived at the same police station, asserting that Wated knew of her whereabouts.
This prompted detectives together with Wateed and his in-laws to visit the couple’s home in Kalagala Village, Kayabwe Town Council, Mpigi District on Monday evening.
“When we entered the gate, a foul smell welcomed us and it is at this point that the man revealed to detectives that he had actually killed my sister after a DNA test proved that he is not the biological father of the baby girl,” Ms Royce Nayiga, the deceased’s sister, says.
Wated later led detectives to a septic tank in the compound where he had dumped Nabukenya’s body.
Ms Nayiga says Nabukenya had earlier disclosed to them that she had misunderstandings with Wated over the paternity of their six-month-old baby and when she was reported missing, they sensed something was amiss.
“We thought they would resolve their issues as wife and husband but we were shocked to receive information that he had killed her,” she says.
The DNA Test
According to police, it is alleged that Wated suspected Nabukenya of infidelity which prompted him to take their 6-month-old child for a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test.
When he returned home and after some confrontations, police say he decided to kill his wife and dump her body in a septic tank in their compound, and partially covered the corpse with soil.
“In the process of interrogation, detectives at Kayabwe Police Station asked the suspect to take them to his home. On their arrival, they were hit by a stench of a decomposing body. They searched and found it in a septic tank. After questioning, Taheed admitted to killing his wife because of the negative DNA test results,” the police statement said on Monday.
