Police in Kabale District have launched an investigation into the mysterious death of 30-year-old Twesigye Anthony, a resident of Rukidi Street, Bazaar Parish, Southern Division, Fort Portal Municipality.
The lifeless body of Twesigye was discovered on the evening of Sunday, June 1, 2025, at approximately 7:52 PM. Two men, who had gone to relax at Kabale Municipal Stadium, found the body lying on the green grass near the stadium’s perimeter wall in Central Cell, Central Ward, Central Division.
