It is said that the body of the thirty-year-old who was identified as Marleen Auma was found lying outside her father-in-law's house in Ibuti village.

It is reported that the deceased who was a mother of two, had been time and time again involved in a domestic dispute with her 33-year-old husband.

Peter Okusimba who is a relative to the deceased said that the Auma had previously been ranting about her husband allegedly having an illicit love affair.
