Twaha Namwoyo, 38, and Nadiimu Katooko, 27, were a husband and wife and the parents of four children in the Ugandan village of Bulalaka.

The pair, who had 7-, 5-, 3-, and 2-year-old kids, were slain outside their home earlier this month, according to Morning Star News.

At least one source recounted the tragic killing to the outlet, which monitors Christian persecution across the globe. One neighbor, who spoke on condition of anonymity, recounted overhearing the assailants on the night of the slaying admitting the killing centered on the couple's conversion to Christianity.

"I heard people talking and conversing loudly in Arabic and the Lugwere language, saying that Twaha is to reap the fruits of leaving Islam," the individual said. "After a few minutes, I heard loud wailing coming out of Twaha's house."

That neighbor, as a Christian, said he feared the murderers would descend upon his home as well, so he locked the doors.

"Thank God the attackers did not come to our house," he told Morning Star News.

According to the neighbor, authorities found weapons at the scene, including an axe, swords, and knives. He believes these were left to warn other Christians about what they, too, might face for their beliefs.

Twaha and Nadiimu reportedly converted to Christianity in December, according to a friend who spent six months visiting and praying with them until they came to faith Dec. 5, 2023.

"I continued discipling them in the Christian doctrines," he told Morning Star News. "But cautioned them to remain secret in their new-founded Christian faith"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
