It is alleged that the yet-to-be-identified man caught his wife having an affair with another man, who, according to the Elgon regional police spokesperson, Rogers Taitika, is a businessman and resident of Buboola Village, Bukwimbi Parish in Buteza Sub-County in Siroko District.
Reports indicate that the suspect caught the two lovers in a lodge following a tip-off from one of his colleagues.
It is alleged that he stripped both lovers naked and forced them to hold each other’s hands as they marched in public.
Both lovers were reportedly seen trying to hide their faces as locals cheered in excitement.
They (locals) joined the suspect in the beating of the woman, but not until her mother intervened to stop the shaming.
Police said that the suspect, who is a resident of Kalawa Ward in Budadiri Town Council, is on the run and that police detectives will charge him with aggravated torture, aggravated robbery, and insulting the modesty of a woman.
"We are hunting for the suspect, who is on the run. He is a resident of Kalawa Ward in Budairi Town Council. He undressed and assaulted his wife and her lover after he found them committing adultery," Taitika said.
Some residents in the area, however, said the woman had for a long time been on a promiscuous spree and said she deserved what befell her.
