The Angry Residents on Wednesday held a community meeting at Nyaruhanga village, Bureme Parish, Rwamucucu sub county Rukiga District following endless fights from a 43 year old man with his family

Speaking to our reporter after a meeting , Residents said that Alynest Twebembere’s family are renowned fighters in the village and whenever they get drunk, they go fighting every one they come across.

However, Twebembere  mother in law Ms. Jeninah Twebaze from Ngomba village in the same sub county showed dissatisfaction with the punishment given to her son in law.

She said that the son in law wrecked her daughter’s legs and digging a half kilometre road is not equivalent to the pains inflicted on her daughter.

Jeninah pinned Twebembere for having fights with her daughter since he married her and that they have been having family and community reconciliations with the son in-law but all has been in vain.

She called upon the residents to allow her take her daughter before she is murdered in cold blood.

Turyamureba Emmy a 14 year old son to the accused said that his father has made them sleep outside the house several times.

He added he has been staying at his grandmother’s home after his father threatened to cut him by tossing a sharp panga to him twice.

The wife to the accused Anna Kyarisima, 37 years said that her husband wants to sell every property at home to buy alcohol. She said she has fought daily for the last 22 years.

In his defense, Twebembere Alynest told www.mknewslink.com reporter that his wife and children deny him land for sale citing out when he wanted to sell part of the banana plantation to buy a motorcycle which his wife and children rejected.

The area LCI chairperson Dismas Tushabe told www.mknewslink.com since he became the chairperson, he has received over 100 cases from this family.

He attributed all the troubles to family head who has totally failed to take care of his family and resorted to selling everything at home only to buy alcohol.

Tushabe said that the husband turns against everyone who tries to reconcile them.
