Local musician Douglas Mayanja, popularly known as Weasel, has been hospitalised at Nsambya hospital after allegedly being knocked three times by his wife Sandra Tete following a domestic brawl.
Eyewitnesses reportedly told Kabalagala police officers that Tete knocked Weasel and caused multiple fractures in one of his legs when they were at Chans bar, in Munyonyo, Makindye Division, Kampala city.
Police have since arrested Tete, and she is currently detained at Kabalagala police station. The suspect reportedly told detectives that she had developed a quarrel with Weasel earlier during the day, and the latter chased her with the children from their home.
She added that she took the matter to her in-laws’ parents, but she was ordered to go back to her husband to resolve their issues. Tete said that when she went back to their home, Weasel continued abusing and assaulting her before later driving off to Chan’s bar.
“When I returned, Weasel continued abusing and assaulting me. He then drove to the bar, and I followed him there. We quarrelled again, and I later entered the vehicle and knocked him down,” Tete said as quoted by detectives.
Patrick Onyango, Kampala metropolitan police spokesperson, confirmed Tete’s arrest and added that Weasel was taken to Nsambya hospital. Weasel is the young brother of musician Joseph Mayanja, alias Dr Jose Chameleone.
His relationship with Tete has always been shaky, and they have often ended up taking each other to various police stations. They have separated several times, but they get reunited by parents, relatives and friends.
