A man in Uganda is wanted by police for assault after he beat his wife to coma because she taunted him over Arsenal’s loss to West Ham on Saturday.
The man identified as Abbas Mukobere reportedly thrashed his wife, Ketty Mbali, who is a Manchester United fan, with a cane until she fainted, News24 reported.
Neighbours said they heard the woman crying for help and attempted to see what was happening inside the couple’s apartment but could not do so as the door was locked from behind.
They then went to the window and saw Mukobere beating his wife with a cane.
By the time they were able to break the door, Mukobere had escaped through the back door, while his wife had fainted from the impact of the severe beating.
Neighbours then took her to hospital where she was treated for a fractured arm and bruises on the face, News24 reported.
When she was asked to explain the details of the quarrel, Mbali said: ”As usual, I started joking about my team Manchester United winning and his team Arsenal losing. It seems he was drunk and upset by his team’s loss that he started beating me up.”
