Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A 40-year-old man who allegedly went on rampaged and hacked to death two of his neighbor’s children in Kanungu District in western Uganda on Thursday has been lynched.<\/p>\n

Edward Birungi, a resident of Kagarama cell, Nyarutojo parish in Kambuga Sub County in Kanungu District allegedly killed Tracy Nabasa, 8, and Ian Owembabazi, 3, after accusing their father, Mr Frank Kato, a resident of the same area, of having extra-marital affairs with his estranged wife. Birungi is said to have separated with his wife two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

After hacking his neighbor’s children, Birungi is said to have gone into hiding.<\/p>\n

He was, however, intercepted and lynched on Friday afternoon as he reportedly attempted to flee to the neighboring Rukungiri District.<\/p>\n

The police spokesperson for Kigezi region, Mr Elly Maate, confirmed the mob action and blamed the people for taking the law into the hands.<\/p>\n

He said the mob should have arrested Birungi and handed him over to the police for prosecution in the courts of law.<\/p>\n

The Kanungu LCV vice chairman, Mr Henry Mwongyera, said Birungi was under the influence of drugs when he hacked his neighbor’s children.<\/p>\n

Birungi\u2019s victims were buried yesterday.<\/p>\n
