The police are investigating the death of an elderly woman who was said to have been stabbed to death by her husband for allegedly denying him conjugal rights in Uganda.

A police report has revealed that the deceased refused to join her husband in their matrimonial bed because she was not feeling well and instead she decided to sleep in another room.

The suspect, who is said to have been infuriated by this, started a confrontation that ended tragically after he killed the deceased before he was arrested by police officers who took him to custody.

Africans have also called upon the police to conduct a mental health test in order to find out whether or not the man is mentally stable, adding that his old age might have had some effect on how he handled the issue.
