Bududa Man Gets 15-Year-Jail Term for Chopping off Girl’s Hand
27 year old Derick Kuloba, a resident of Bududa district has earned himself a 15-year-jail term for attempted murder.
Bubulo Chief Magistrate, Esther Nalungi found Kuloba guilty of attempted murder when he chopped off the hand of 16-year-old Evelyn Namasopo.
The prosecution told court that Kuloba attacked the victim near a forest on her way home in July 2021 after reportedly rejecting his marriage proposal.
In her judgment, Nalungi sentenced Kuloba to 15 years in Jail on grounds that he wasted the court's time and didn't show any remorse for his action.
The court also awarded the victim compensation of Shillings 50 million since her family has used a lot of money for her treatment.
The state prosecutor, Godfrey Wakasadah welcomed the sentence noting that they prayed with the court to hand the convict a minimum punishment.
