A 27- year -old cold- blooded man has earned himself 15 years in jail for mercilessly chopping off a girl’s hand after she rejected his bonking proposal.
The Bubulo Chief Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday sentenced Derick Kuloba, for attempted murder after he was found guilty by the court.
Court heard that in July 2021,Kuloba, a resident of Bududa district cut off the hand of 16-year-old Evelyn Namasopo near a forest after she refused his sexual and marriage offers.
Namasopo, a former student of Bushiyi Christian Secondary School and resident of Nabweya sub-county in Bududa district was attacked while on her way home to pick up food for her ill mother who had been hospitalized.
The Bubulo Chief Magistrate, Esther Nalungi stated that Kuloba wasted the court’s time by showing no remorse for his actions. She also ruled that the victim be compensated 50 million shillings.
Nalungi also stated that the 15-year-jail term will help the convict to reform and return to society a better person.
“The convict is 27 now, this sentence gives him a chance to return to society still young and reformed, at the same time the sentence will serve as an example to the youth, not to commit similar crimes,” Nalungi ruled.
Kuloba has been on remand for four months the convict spent on remand.
