Police in Masindi are looking for a local money lender identified as Tugume for biting his customer over a debt of shillings 200.

The victim, David Muhumuza, 17, is nursing serious injuries at Kabalega medical center in Masindi town.

It all started when Tugume, a local money lender who owns a video hall in Kibaale village, Miirya sub-county in Masindi district, allowed Muhumuza to watch a movie at 200 shillings on credit.

Muhumuza promised to pay the money the next day(Monday) but he never showed, prompting Tugume to confront him at his home. When he couldn't pay up his debt, a fight in which Tugume bit off the Muhumuza's right ear ensued.

He later took off to an unknown destination leaving his victim bleeding and in need of medical attention.

In a police report, Muhumuza revealed that he pleaded with Tugume to forgive him in vain.

Vigro Musinguzi, the area defense secretary says the suspect immediately vanished from the village after committing the crime adding that they have teamed up with the police to hunt him down.  

Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson has confirmed the incident adding that the hunt for the suspect has commenced.
