Man asks court to allow acid to be poured on his wife

Victim

The gist is about a man who has requested for court to use an eye for an eye judgement procedure for his wife, after what she did to him. Here's the gist in full:

In an unusual testimony, a 24-year-old man in Kampala, Uganda has asked a court to impose the same punishment his attacker, his wife, meted out on him.

Siraje Kato testified on Thursday, June 1 that his wife, Sarah Kyarikunda, poured acid on him in March this year in an attempt to kill him. As a result, he has lost vision in one eye.

The heavily bandaged Kato said an argument with Sarah caused the attack, which she perpetrated in conjunction with others still on the run.

Apparently severely affected by his injuries, Kato proceeded to request that the court should order that acid be poured on Sarah.

Kato said: “Your worship, if it were possible for court to order for acid to be poured on Kyarikunda’s body like she did to me, that would be a satisfactory punishment.”

This request reportedly surprised the judge, James Ereemye, and other people attending the hearing.

The court was adjourned and will reconvene on June 6 for further hearings.

I pray he tends to forgive her and not seek for an eye for an eye
