Buliisa, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Police in Buliisa is holding five suspects in connection with the brutal murder of a 42-year-old man.
The five suspects whose particulars have been concealed by police for fear of jeopardizing police investigations are accused of murdering Ramadhan Oyirwoth, a resident of Kapapi village, Kapapi sub county in Hoima district.
The incident happened on Saturday night near Kamagongoro landing site in Walukuba parish, Butiaba sub county in Buliisa district.
It is alleged that the deceased went to visit his relatives at Kamagongoro landing site when the five suspects allegedly attacked him beating him to death before dumping his body in the lake Albert waters.
The body was later discovered floating on the lake Albert waters on Sunday by fishermen who retrieved it.
