The territorial police in Kabale are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of an unidentified male adult, whose body was discovered in a swamp at Rwakihirwa Cell, Kamuganguzi Sub-county Kabale District.

According to a police statement, it is alleged that on 10/10/2024, at around 5:45 a.m., unknown suspects, with malice aforethought, caused the death of the deceased and later concealed the body in a swamp at Rwakihirwa Cell, along Katuna Road.

The Kigezi Region police spokesperson, ASP Elly Maate, stated that the body was discovered by a young boy who was tending to animals and the boy informed the area chairperson, Abraham Nuwagaba, who inspected the body in an attempt to identify the victim but was unsuccessful.

The chairperson then contacted the Officer in Charge (OC) of Kamuganguzi Police Station, who alerted the OC of Kabale Police Station and the district Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer. The team visited the scene, which was documented.

The body, which had scratches on the face, was retrieved and transported to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital for a postmortem. Efforts to identify the deceased are still ongoing.

ASP Maate appealed to the public, urging anyone with a missing loved one to visit the hospital mortuary for identification and to ensure a proper burial. Investigations are still underway.
