Police in Hoima are searching for Peter Musana, a resident of Kiryatete West cell in the Hoima City East division, for allegedly beheading his 9-month-old child, Morris Ayebale.


The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon when Musana reportedly used a machete to chop off the child's head before fleeing the scene.

According to Moreen Nyakato, the child's mother, Musana returned home on the day in question, entered the house where the child was sleeping, and carried out the gruesome act.

 Nyakato discovered her child's decapitated body in a pool of blood, raising the alarm and attracting neighbors, who were unable to apprehend the suspect as he had already fled the scene. The motive for Musana's alleged act is unclear, as there were no reports of misunderstandings between him and Nyakato.

Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, urged the public to provide information that could lead to Musana's arrest and detention. Once arrested, Musana will be charged with murder in court.
