A
50-year-old man has taken the decisin to end his life by hanging following the death of his
nephew.
The
double-tragedy occurred last night at Bwami village, Kabarungi parish, in
Lwengo town council.

deceased person has been identified as Emmanuel Kamanzi.
Kamanzi's nephew, George Mukasa
succumbed to a strange ailment which he has been battling for three days.

The two dead men will apparently be missed for diverse reasons. Anthony
Luwaga, the Lwengo LCIII Councilor, says Mukasa and Kamanzi were his good colleagues and also his staunch supporters.
