Police in Rukungiri are investigating a suspected murder after the lifeless body of a 56-year-old woman was discovered on Saturday morning near Segawa’s home in Rugorogoro Cell, Mabanga parish, Kebison Sub-county.
The deceased, identified as Kakazi Mary, a single mother and shop owner in Bagarame trading center, was last seen closing her shop around 8:00 PM while on a phone call.
Shockingly, her body was found this morning at around 7:00 AM by women heading to their gardens.
One of the first people to witness the scene, Magdalena Kyizambile (83 years old), recounted the horror of finding Kakazi’s body lying helplessly in the bush.
Tusingwire Joanita, a neighbor, told reporters that she had seen Kakazi the previous evening at around 8:00 PM when she mentioned she was heading to bed.
Authorities have since transported the body to Rwakabengo for a postmortem examination as investigations continue.
Police are yet to confirm the circumstances surrounding her death or identify any possible suspects, as residents call for increased security in the area while awaiting further updates from law enforcement.
