MorningStarNews.org reports: “A mother of six children was stabbed to death by her Muslim husband in Uganda after she attended her first church service on March 23, sources said.

Nasiimu Mirembe, whose children range in age from 3 to 18, had put her faith in Christ on March 21 after hearing the gospel from a friend in eastern Uganda’s Busembatya town council. She was 41.

She and her friend were on their way to a church service on March 23 when a Muslim neighbor, Awudu Mbulalina, greeted them 200 meters from the worship site and continued on, said the friend, whose name is withheld for security reasons.

Mirembe feared Mbulalina would tell her husband she was heading toward a church service and that he would kill her, but the friend encouraged her to trust in God and persuaded her to continue on.

After the service, where Mirembe was introduced as a new Christian, they were returning home when they met her husband, Adamu Mukungu, about 200 meters from the church site, the friend said. Mukungu did not greet them.

‘I saw you come out of the church,’ Mukungu told his wife, according to the friend. ‘What you have done is very bad, especially during this period of Ramadan.’

‘Immediately he started slapping his wife,’ the friend said. ‘I started screaming and shouting for help. Mukungu then removed a long knife and started cutting her with it.’…”
