One of the relatives of the late Nyangwoha tipped off residents of Kayanga that before Nyangwoha died, the wife had beaten him in a fight which resulted into his death.

According to Banyankole Bakiiga culture, when a body is already out of the house for burial, it cannot be taken back into the house no matter what happens.
