Woman tells why she killed husband, escaped death penalty after 24 years in prison

A woman who killed her husband, spent 24 years in prison waiting to face the death penalty before she miraculously regained her freedom has tearfully given reasons for bloodily murdering the father of her children.

Robinah Rukirilwa is a Ugandan from the region of Kiboga where she was forced to marry a man at an early age without the opportunity to study him well enough.

After moving into her husband’s house, he then started showing her the stuff he was made of, including consistent violent assaults.

Being the mother of his children, she endured all sorts of hostilities, and loveless marriage, hoping things might change for the better in the future, but it only got worse by the day.
