Ugandan Police in Kasanda district has reportedly recovered the body of a 60-year-old woman dumped in a pit latrine.  

Irene Naggita, who is a sister to retired Maj Gen Kasirye Gwanga went missing from her home several weeks ago.  

According to the deceased son, Denis Kimuli, when he learnt that his mother was missing, they tried to trace for her from known relatives and friends in vain. Kimuli also notes that since the Easter holidays, they were calling her mobile phone but it went unanswered.

Elizabeth Kasirye, sister to the deceased, notes that Naggita’s character had changed days before she went missing.

Adding that Naggita was one of the organizers of Easter prayers at Kitalegelwa Church of Uganda, but she never turned up on Good Friday.

Wamala regional police spokesperson Norbert Ochom said the neighbours experienced a foul stench from the pit latrine and informed the police.

The Police spokesman said  that Naggita was killed before she was dumped in the latrine.

Naggita's body was later taken to the district general hospital for postmortem before it was handed over to family members for burial.

“We have left this matter to police to investigate the matter to its logical conclusion. But we are interested to know why somebody would act like that.” Rt. Maj.Gen Gwanga said.
