Police are hunting for a Uganda Christian University [UCU] student identified as Denis Phillip Abagehu who over the weekend took matters in his own hands and poured acid on his former lover in a crime of passion. Phillip is accused of killing Sanyu a student of Bishop Stuart University in Mbarara district.
The victim Jane Sanyu is said to have left him (Phillip) for another man and he didn’t take this lightly especially after he had struggled to pay for her tuition fees hence plotting her death.
Phillip got ticked off after landing on WhatsApp information that was inviting friends of the victim to her introduction ceremony with her new lover.
Sources say that on receiving the information, Phillip got so disturbed hence leaving his mobile money business located in Lyatonde along Mbarara-Masaka highway with a bottle of Acid heading to Sanyu’s home in Kijukizo also located in Lyantonde district in the early morning where she was staying with her aunt.
A family member explains that Phillip was welcomed into the compound where he found Sanyu washing while her aunt had gone to the shop. With this he poured acid on her face and later ran away.
Sanyu died from Mbarara referral hospital where she was taken for her injuries.
It’s also reported by his pals that Phillip had taken out a loan from Centenary bank to run his mobile money business which he had at one time placed under his girlfriends hand but ended up collapsing on allegations that Sanyu was conniving with men to wage a war on Phillip’s money.
Sanyu Jane was buried in Mutukula on Friday. May her soul rest in peace.
