to the scene of the crime where they uncovered a scene of struggle.
“A new knife with fresh blood and witness statements were pivotal to the investigation,” he said
Witnesses told police that Senkungu had multiple injuries and it is alleged that the couple exhibited signs of a troubled marriage.
They further revealed that Shina Atwine had confided in a friend about mistreatment which prompted her to buy a new knife possibly indicating premeditated murder. Meanwhile, the motive of the murder is still under investigation.
Several people who claim to know the male victim have described him as a well known barber in Kibuli. He reportedly worked on the general public and celebrity clients like musicians Feffe Bussi and DJ Shiru.
The male victim's father is also a renown barber who goes by the moniker Brian the barber.
