A body of a 45 year old man hailing from Nakitiku village, Bunabuka parish, Bubeza Sub County in Sironko district has been found dumped in River Namala in Mbale City.
Kisa Masolo’s lifeless body was discovered by residents on the morning of Sunday, 10th March, 2024.
According to Wilson Maberi, the LCIII chairperson of Bubeza Sub County, the search for the deceased was led by himself with other locals from Sironko.
He says that since Masolo has been his resident and also a relative he got concerned after hearing that he had gone missing since Friday last week.
Norah Nandege, the deceased’s mother says her son and wife only known as Jane separated in February, 2024 meaning each has been staying independently here in Mbale City.
She adds that the wife got another lover (names withheld) with whom she has been living with in a rented house in Namatala.
She told this reporter, that the deceased used to visit her at the rented house pleading with her to go back to him.
Nandege also says that the deceased used to tell her about how his wife’s new lover was threatening his life. She now strongly believes, the death of her son is related to these threats.
The body was taken to Mbale city mortuary for postmortem and later handed over to the relatives for burial.
Getting a comment from police was futile after Rogers Taitika, the Elgon region Police Spokesperson failed to pick our repeated calls.
