Police in Kisoro District have arrested a man accused of killing his 18-year-old wife following a domestic dispute over cooking supper.
The tragic incident occurred on Thursday in Gikoro Village, Chihe Parish, Nyakinama Sub-county.
According to Elly Maate, the Kigezi region police spokesperson, the couple had been married for only a month.
