KAMPALA: Five days after recovering another body from a septic tank within the same home in Kabowa, police detectives at Katwe Police Station recovered the human remains of an unidentified person.
Patrick Turyasingura’s body was recovered from a septic tank by police on Saturday. Turyasingura had been reported missing by one Norman Muhangi on January 26th, 2022, at the same residence in Kabowa Rubaga division, a Kampala city suburb.
His postmortem examination, however, revealed that he was strangled to death before being dumped in the septic tank.
As a result, police arrested Norman Muhangi and Naomi Tumwine as key suspects to assist with ongoing investigations.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire, other human remains were recovered today by detectives who returned to the scene to reconstruct the scene.
“There has also been an ongoing inquiry at Katwe Police station into the disappearance of a male adult, Roland Akandida, from the same home, which occurred in December 2020, and the matter has been under investigation since. We’re yet to find out whether it is him, because the body was found in a rotting state and could not be identified,” says Owoyesigyire.
He explains that the remains have been taken to the city mortuary in Mulago for a postmortem while waiting for the DNA test to confirm the identity of the remains recovered.
Naome Tumwine and Norman Muhangi, who were arrested earlier this week, are still in custody at Katwe Police Station, while efforts are underway to apprehend Charles Tumwine, the husband of Naome, and Geoffrey Oduku, the security guard, who are still on the run.
“We found that Turyasingura was planning to leave the country to go abroad. We highly believe the four people know something about his murder, and possibly the death of this person whose body we have recovered today,” said Owotesigyire, adding that the CCTV footage at the house was deleted the same day Turyasingura was killed.
