An Israeli man has been detained in Uganda after admitting to the authorities that he murdered his wife. This came to light after a DNA examination revealed he was not the biological father of their 6-month-old daughter.
Raed Wated, 58, was arrested in Mpigi District on suspicion of killing his wife, Monica Nabukenya, 26. He led investigators to a septic tank where her decomposing body was found following a report by her relatives about her absence. Metal bars were forcefully removed from the pit by the police to retrieve the body.
Reports from Ugandan media indicated that the couple had a disagreement over Wated’s suspicion of Nabukenya’s infidelity. He decided to conduct a DNA test on their daughter which yielded negative results, indicating he was not her biological father. Additionally, they had a 5-year-old child together.
After returning home, Wated killed his wife, concealed her body in a septic tank within their estate, and attempted to cover it with soil. During the investigation, he confessed to the murder and led the police to the crime scene. Dauda Hirigi Were, the Katonga Regional Police commander, confirmed the suspect’s confession.
Nabukenya, who operated a village supermarket, had left their shared residence due to their disagreements but returned at Wated’s request, expressing a desire to reconcile. Her family grew anxious when she did not communicate with them for three days, and after Wated falsely claimed she had traveled to buy supplies, they reported the matter to the police.
Richard Ddumba, the chairperson of Kalagala Village, Kayabwe Town Council, stated that Wated had expressed his intent to divorce his wife. A village defense secretary, Stephen Mwogezi, revealed that Wated had been living in Uganda for ten years after purchasing land and building a house.
Nabukenya’s sister, Royce Nayiga, accompanied the police during their search. She narrated how the foul smell emanating from the compound led to the discovery of her sister’s body. Wated ultimately admitted to killing his wife due to the unfavorable DNA results.
The police commander also acknowledged the suspect’s confession, revealing that Wated considered his wife’s action of having a child with another man as an abomination in their culture. The disturbing incident highlights the tragedy that unfolded as a result of the DNA test and the consequences it led to.
