Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>More details are unfolding about the mystery surrounding the circumstances that led to the death of 24-year-old Patrick Turyasingura, who had been reported missing on January 27.<\/p>\n

Turyasingura\u2019s body was later found dumped in a septic tank at the home of his maternal aunt in Ssimbwa Zone, Rubaga Division in Kampala on January 29.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old man had disappeared for two days in Kampala.<\/p>\n

The Kampala Metropolitan police deputy spokesperson, Mr Luke Owoyesigire, told this newspaper yesterday that Kabowa Police Station under Katwe Divisional Police Headquarters had received reports of disappearance of Turyasingura from Norman Muhangi, a medical officer.<\/p>\n

In his statement to the police, Mr Muhangi said his cousin, Turyasingura, whom he was staying with in the uncompleted storeyed house of a one Charles Tumwine, had gone missing on Tuesday night, January 25.<\/p>\n

He alleged that a security guard, a one Geoffrey Duku, at the same home, had also gone missing the following day, on January 26.<\/p>\n

Mr Muhangi also said both Turyasingura and Duku\u2019s mobile phones had been switched off.<\/p>\n

On January 24, Turyasingura\u2019s father travelled from Rukungiri District to Kampala to check on his son. He went to Ms Noame Tumwine\u2019s home where Patrick was staying and he asked Ms Tumwine to tell him where his son was.<\/p>\n

The search for the two missing persons went on until January 29, when the wife Ms Tumwine came to the site at around 4pm. She went to open the septic tank, only to find the decomposing body of Turyasingura.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a team of detectives from the Criminal Investigations Department at Katwe spent more than 10 hours at the residence empting the septic tank where the body was found.<\/p>\n

A skull, suspected to be that of Ronald Akatulinda, a worker at Ms Tumwine\u2019s home, who been reported missing in December 2020, was also found in the same septic tank.<\/p>\n

The manholes to the septic tank<\/p>\n

In the same month, the police had also registered a case by Mr Charles Tumwine about theft and disappearance of Akatulinda from the same home then under construction.<\/p>\n

Mr Owoyesigire said: \u201cPlans are also in initial stages to do DNA analysis to confirm whether the bones belong to Akatulinda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources familiar with the investigation told this newspaper that Turyasingura\u2019s body had a flat stomach and had a black spot around the throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe body had started decomposing, with the skin peeling off. It looked like it was strangled and dumped in the septic tank two weeks ago,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Turyasingura had reportedly travelled from Rukungiri to Kampala to process a passport and go abroad. But because he had no accommodation in Kampala, he then went to the home where his body was later found dumped in a septic tank.<\/p>\n

The scene<\/p>\n

A source privy to the investigations said the septic tank where the body and the skull were retrieved had four manholes, with the body lying in the second manhole.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is suspected that the deceased was strangled behind the boy\u2019s quarters because there were suspected blood stains on the wall,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The police homicide team, while at the crime scene, also retrieved a closed-circuit television footage and it showed that it had gone off for two days.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom January 25 to 27, the cameras were off and even power was off in both the main house and boy\u2019s quarters where the deceased was staying,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

The police said three suspects are in custody and more investigations were ongoing.<\/p>\n

The names involved<\/b><\/p>\n

\u25cf Patrick Turyasingura (deceased) was Noame Tumwiine nephew.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Charles Tumwine is husband of Noame Tumwine<\/p>\n

\u25cf Norman Muhangi is cousin of Turyasingura<\/p>\n

\u25cf Geoffrey Duku was a security guard at Tumwine\u2019s residence but now missing<\/p>\n

\u25cf Tumwine is the owner of the house where the bodies were found in the septic tank.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Roland Akatulinda was a worker at Tumwine\u2019s construction site.<\/p>\n
