Body of a man reported missing discovered at decomposing state in kyambogo

KMP police is investigating how a man reported missing for a month, turned up dead after his body was found decomposing. The deceased was a son to a kyu custodian one Mr Timothy Magezi who identified his son one Roy Alituha by the shirt he was wearing.

He said the deceased’s body was discovered near Kyambogo primary school by a watchman of the university and was taken to the city mortuary Mulago for postmortem.

“His decomposing body was discovered at 7pm on Sunday in a nearby bush with a small rope tied around his neck “he probably committed suicide” and a team of police officers visited the scene, examined and documented the scene and inquiries are ongoing,” Mr Onyango Patrick the KMP spokesperson said. 

Police say Alituha disappeared from home on February 09, 2023, and the father made an effort to look for him in vain, until he decided to report the case to Kyambogo police station on February 17. Efforts by the police to locate him while still alive also proved futile.

Police preliminary investigations indicate that on the day of his disappearance, Alituha sent a short message service (SMS) to his sister’s phone that his life was in danger and needed family prayers. He, however, did not divulge details of where he was and the extent of the danger.

Investigations into the matter are still ongoing to find out the probable cause to account those responsible.
