of Kyaboggo village, Nkoni parish, Kkingo sub-county was alone at home when
unknown assailants killed him on Sunday night but his body was found lying
behind his house, around 10 am on Monday morning.
The deceased has been the
secretary for the catechist committee at Nkoni catholic Parish. Unknown assailants
hit the deceased on the head with a blunt object several times and left his

a grudge with anyone as far as they know.

investigations into the matter and bring the culprits to book.

months.
