The 50-year-old Ugandan man then got infuriated and descended on his wife with blows and kicks which landed her in the hospital.
A local information official Joseph Gadimba is quoted as saying: "The man kicked and whipped the wife severely leaving her for dead. The woman is currently receiving medical treatment at Budaka Health Centre IV."
Interestingly, the violence has not been reported to the police because the local leaders have asked the man to foot the hospital bills of his brutalised wife.

Killing fowls and other animals is a big deal on occasions such as Christmas, so most people especially those in rural parts of Africa consider such animals reserved for the D-day untouchable.
