LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- An Israeli citizen has been arrested in Uganda after confessing to killing his wife because he discovered her alleged infidelity when a DNA test showed he is not the father of their 6-month-old daughter.
Police in Mpigi District had arrested 58-year-old Raed Wated on 16 July, on suspicion of murdering his 26-year-old wife, Monica Nabukenya.

According to Ugandan media, Police and officials in the Kalagala Village where Wated resides say the couple had a falling out over his suspicions that Nabukenya had been unfaithful.
This prompted him to take their daughter for a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test.
“Wated decided to take the child for a DNA test and it so happened that the results turned negative,” a Police statement reads in part.
The DNA test revealed that Wated was not the biological father of the child.
When he returned home and after some confrontations, he decided to kill his wife and dump her body in a septic tank in their compound and partially covered the corpse with soil.
