One person identified as Victor Olwenyi has been arrested by officers from Jinja police station on allegations of assaulting his wife, Immaculate Nyamwenge, the Grade One Magistrate of Njeru.
According to the reports, Olwenyi slapped Nyamwenge on Thursday night at their home in block H, Walukuba-Masese division, Jinja municipality after he found clothes of another man in the house.
Nyamwenge, in her statement recorded at Jinja CPS, notes that Olwenyi is a violent man and their love life has been marred with mistrust which prompted her to file for divorce early this year.
