Ssebudde Kassim Who Was Abducted With Eddie Mutwe Dumped After Severe Torture – Bobi Wine
The victim, identified as Robert, reportedly discovered that the six-month-old baby he had been raising was not his biological child. According to police, Robert had grown suspicious following rumors of his wife’s alleged infidelity and decided to conduct a DNA test on the infant. The results confirmed his fears the child was not his.
Robert and his wife, Patricia Ssuuna, had been married since 2019 and shared two children. Friends and relatives say the couple’s relationship had been strained in recent months, particularly over the mysterious disappearance of land titles from their home. WhatsApp messages retrieved from Robert’s phone revealed heated exchanges between the two, with Robert accusing Patricia of hiding or misplacing the land papers.
The situation reached a deadly climax last week after a fierce domestic altercation. According to police accounts, Patricia and her friends rushed a badly injured Robert to a private clinic in Seguku, where he was declared dead on arrival. A postmortem later revealed he had suffered a fatal blow to the head from a metallic object.
During the vigil held at the couple’s home, mourners discovered blood stains inside the house, raising suspicions that the assault had occurred there. Patricia, however, was notably absent from the burial. She had fled the scene following Robert’s death.
Her disappearance was short-lived. Police later arrested Patricia along with her mother, who is believed to have played a role in the events leading up to Robert’s death. Both women are currently detained at Natete Police Station and are expected to appear in court next week to face charges related to the murder.
Further complicating the family dynamics is the revelation that Robert had another wife, Nantogo Winnie, whom he married before Patricia. Sources close to the family say Robert maintained both relationships, though it was Patricia who lived with him at the time of his death.
