Police in Rukungiri District are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Vincent Byamukama, whose body was found today, Friday, 14th June 2024, in his toilet.
Vincent Byamukama, in his 50s, was a resident of Nyabihanga Cell, Katonya Parish, Nyakishenyi Sub County, Rukungiri District. He had been missing since Sunday, 9th June 2024.
Residents, suspicious of Byamukama’s mysterious disappearance, conducted a search around his home. They discovered his body in the toilet, along with his clothes and bedding materials.
This discovery prompted residents to alert police from Kilimbe Police Post and Nyakishenyi Police Post. Authorities subsequently arrested the deceased’s wife, Everina Mutesigensi, in her 40s, his son Akanyijuka Moses, in his 20s, and a daughter identified only as Hilda, in her 30s.
Residents allege that the family had longstanding disagreements, which led them to conduct the search after noticing the wife pretending to be busy while her husband was missing.
As of press time, homicide detectives from Rukungiri Central Police Station had arrived at the scene, with further comments pending.
