A man in Sironko district is on the run for attempting to bury his three year-old-son alive. The suspect is 38-year-old Simon Manake, a resident of Mayiyi village Bukusege parish Busamaga Sub County in Sironko district.
Tom Kidandi, the LC I chairperson of Mayiyi village, says that Manake developed misunderstandings with his wife only identified as Iren on Saturday on the parentage of their three-year-old son. He says that as local
leaders they intervened in the matter and counseled the couple thinking that
they have reconciled.
Kidandai notes that Manake dug a grave later and tried to bury the minor alive prompting his life to raise alarm, which attracted locals. Manake fled into hiding.
Moses Maduli, the LCIII
chairperson of Busamaga Sub County, says that Manake acted under the influence of alcohol. He adds that Manake is
fond of excessive alcohol consumption, which forces him into fights with his wife.
He says that they have launched a manhunt for Manake who is on the run to answer charges of attempted murder.
