A 20 year old Student of Budini SS, Kaliro but resident of Bucolic village, Bukomolo parish, in Budaka district has committed suicide by hanging.
The student identified as Kolovina Naisiga was found hanging dead in her room by a younger brother on the evening of Sunday, 3rd March, 2024.
According to statements provided by authorities, Naisiga’s younger brother, Bulabale, was sent to summon her for supper after she failed to respond to her mother’s call.
In a chilling discovery, Bulabale peeped through the window and witnessed a heart-wrenching scene – his sister hanging from a rope. He immediately alerted their mother, who raised an alarm, prompting other villagers to rush to the scene.
While the exact cause of the hanging remains unknown, Naisiga’s parents suspect that their daughter may have been pregnant and feared sharing the news with them.
The Kerekeren Police Post, in coordination with the Budaka Police Station, swiftly responded to the distress call. Upon their arrival, the lifeless body of Naisiga Kolovina was carefully removed from the room.
The police meticulously documented the scene of the crime and recorded statements from witnesses, including Bulabale Tom, a 65-year-old resident of Bukomolo village.
According to Samuel Semewo, the Bukedi North Region Police Spokesperson, they have launched a thorough investigation, with inquiries currently underway to ascertain the circumstances leading up to Naisiga’s tragic decision.
“We are committed to conducting a comprehensive investigation to uncover the truth behind this devastating incident,” he added.
The body of Naisiga was transported to the morgue, where a postmortem examination was to be conducted to shed light on the cause of death.
The local community, reeling from the shock of the tragedy, has come together to support the Kolovina family and has initiated discussions about mental health awareness and the importance of open dialogue surrounding sensitive issues.
