The Busoga North police spokesperson Michael Kasadha said the residents had attacked the said traditional doctors, accusing them of bringing spirits to the village that were increasingly becoming a menace to them.<\/p>\n

According Kasadha said one traditional healer had been killed when Kasolo tried to whisk away the second, a move that did not go well with the already charged mob, who then intercepted them along the way and hacked the police officer to death.<\/p>\n

The bodies of the deceased persons were taken to Kamuli General Hospital for an autopsy.<\/p>\n

Kasadha said police are on the ground to identify all the residents behind this mob justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
