in Kanungu——-

 The territorial police in Kanungu are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man suffering from mental illness, who was found in a pool of blood in Kanungu Town Council.

The deceased has been identified as Bernard Turyamureba, 37, a resident of Bukora Cell, Northern Ward, Kanungu Town Council, Kanungu District. His body was discovered in a pool of blood.

According to a police statement, it is alleged that on Friday, 20th September 2024, at around 9:00 p.m., Turyamureba began speaking incoherently, prompting his family to administer some medication to calm him down, as they believed his condition was related to ongoing family “demonic issues.” He had been battling mental illness intermittently for some time.

Family members reported that Turyamureba’s illness had led to the separation from his wife, leaving their 12-year-old child in the care of Turyamureba’s father.

Elly Maate, the Kigezi Region Police spokesperson, confirmed the incident. He stated that at around 3:00 p.m. the same day, the deceased’s parents had served him food in his house. However, when they returned to collect the plates after a rainfall, they found him groaning in a pool of blood with a deep cut on his neck. A blood-stained panga was found placed between his legs.

The deceased’s parents immediately alerted neighbors, who in turn notified the police. Officers from Kanungu Police Station responded swiftly to the scene.

The crime scene was documented, and relevant witness statements were recorded. The body was examined at Kanungu Health Center IV, and the panga was recovered as evidence. The body was later handed over to the relatives for a proper burial.

The case, suspected to be a suicide, was registered at Kanungu Police Station under reference number DEF/04/2024.

In Kasese—-

Police in Rwenzori East (Kasese district) have declined to grant permission to FDC members to carry out their planned peaceful demonstration over the district leaders’ alleged failure to rehabilitate the multipurpose building located in Nyamwamba Division of Kasese Municipality.

The FDC members had planned to walk to the district headquarters due to alleged failure by the district leadership to safeguard the multipurpose hall from vandalism and subsequently resorting to hiring a private hotel to accommodate council sittings hence leading to misuse of taxpayers’ money.

The opposition members also argued that the district leadership had failed to end issues of corruption reported in the District Service Commission.

Addressing the press last evening at Virina Gardens in Kasese town, SP Luke Mbusa, the Rwenzori East Regional Community Liaisons Officer stressed that they wouldn’t allow any person to demonstrate because their request has not been cleared by the Inspector General of Police.

SP Mbusa thus directed all the Divisional Commanders of Hima, Katwe, Bwera and Kasese to arrest whoever would be involved in such an unlawful demonstration and slap charges on them accordingly.

However, Mr. Ronald Bwambale Kabuku, the Kasese District FDC Chairperson had earlier told the press that after holding an online meeting of the party members, they resolved to temporarily halt the demonstration.

According to Mr. Kabuku, one of the reasons why they halted the demonstration was the write up which was sent to them by the Clerk to Council of the District indicating that the following council sitting wouldn’t be held from a hotel.

Last Friday, the Kasese Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. Elias Byamungu told our reporter that he would also not authorize any further payments of money to the hotel owner, arguing that the district has many public places that are solely owned by the Government of Uganda.

He, on the other hand, revealed that they had budgeted for the renovation works of the multipurpose building in their running budget.
