Beatrice Acen, 35, returned home plastered at 10pm on June
30 and proceeded to demand sex from her husband, Moses Okot, a 46-year-old
peasant farmer.
Mr Okot said that he had returned home from hunting during
the day, eaten and gone to sleep when his wife attacked him.
On her return to the house she called out to him to open the
door for her.
He was already asleep and awoke to 'find my pants wetted
with blood,' he said.
Mrs Acen is now on the run, according to the Daily
Monitor.
The victim believes that his wife resorted to this drastic
measure due to his longstanding method of punishing her for her 'alcoholism.'
'As a man, I would no longer tolerate such, so I decided to
deny her sex with hope that she would reform,' he said.
This is not the first time that Mrs Okot got physical when
her husband denied her advances, the report claimed.
The chairman of the village where the couple live is quoted
as saying: 'Last year, she broke this man’s collar bone during a domestic fight
and ran away.'
He added that domestic violence is rife in the village with
the women drinking as much as the men.
Mr Okot was taken to the local police station to file a
complaint against his wife before being rushed to Apac main hospital where he
is now receiving medical treatment.
Domestic violence is a big problem in Uganda, especially
northern Uganda where Mr Okot's village is located.
