Police in Bushenyi are investigating circumstances under which a 23 year old man was yesterday buried alive in a gold mine.

The deceased has been identified by police as Gaston Gumisiriza, a resident of Karimunyari in Kyamuhunga Sub-county Igara West County Bushenyi district.

John Bakyenga, the Karimunyari LC I Chairperson, told www.mknewslink.com  that the deceased went with four others in a gold mine on Saturday morning.

He, however, added that shortly,they heard them calling for help after the mine caved in and suffocated Gumisiriza to death.

“We heard loud screams and rushed to see what had happened only to find miners buried under the ground. We rescued them but one was already dead,” he said.

He said Gumisiriza and his colleagues have been mining gold from the area for long.
