On Tuesday, a dead man’s body was found in a trench in Mutakyengwa village, Rubanda district, Uganda. The identity of the victim is unknown. Police are investigating the case as a murder.
The body was found by a resident who alerted the area chairperson, Charles Musekura. Musekura reported the matter to Hamurwa Police Station.
A team of police officers visited and examined the scene. The body was later taken to Kabale Hospital mortuary for an autopsy.
Police spokesperson Elly Maate said that anyone missing their loved one should visit the hospital mortuary to identify the body.
Police have recorded the case under CRB 2572023.
Area leader Musekura said that many people saw the body but could not identify the dead man. This suggests that he could have been killed somewhere else and only dumped in the area.
Musekura added that the deceased was not found with any documents on him.
