According to the spokesperson for Greater Bushenyi police, Marcial Tumusiime, the incident occurred on November 20, 2023, in Rwomushojwa cell, Kashenyi Ward, Kajani Town Council in Buhweju District. The victim, a man in his early 30s with a tall, brown-skinned, and medium-sized build, was discovered with burn wounds covering his body.
The gruesome discovery was made by Hilder Kebirungi around 1:00 PM, when she entered her food store to retrieve beans after working in her banana plantation. She found the victim’s lifeless body lying atop her harvested beans.
Shocked by the discovery, Kebirungi raised an alarm, alerting neighbors, who promptly contacted the village vice-chairman, Geoffrey Tumusiime. Tumusiime reported the incident to the Kajani police station.
The deceased, whose identity was not known in the village, was found to have a police bond in the name of Twinomujuni Dan. The bond was related to a theft charge (vide SD Ref 04/23/10/2023) at Kirangazi Police Station in Nakaseke District.
