Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A family in Tororo District is in grief after discovering that their missing son had drowned in a pit latrine.<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old Emmanuel Ochieng was a Primary Seven pupil at Industrial View Primary School in the Western Division of Tororo Municipality.<\/p>\n

The deceased reportedly met his death Tuesday evening as he went to ease himself in a pit latrine that later caved in together with him.<\/p>\n

He was discovered by one of their neighbours who made an alarm that attracted many people that embarked on a rescue mission before being joined by the Police rescue team.<\/p>\n

It took over two hours to get Ochieng from the pit latrine who was already in a coma before being rushed to Tororo General Hospital where he was pronounced dead moments later.<\/p>\n

Mr Stephen Odur, the uncle of Ochieng said he had just returned from school when he went to ease himself at about 5pm, but unfortunately met his death there.<\/p>\n

Mr Martin Okello Katandi, a neighbour, told this reporter that the incident has generated fear amongst residents arguing that most of them will be forced to stop their children from using the pit latrines.<\/p>\n

“This is painful and we ask the police to investigate what really caused the slub to collapse and we want the landlord to be held responsible,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Eridad Ochola, a teacher at Industrial View Primary School, described Ochieng as one of the brightest candidates and hoped he could get them the first grade in the PLE examinations.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a sad incident because it happened a few minutes after he had left school. Ochieng was a bright boy and as the school, we have lost someone who could give us the first grade,” he said.<\/p>\n

Western division chairperson, Mr Jamal Al Manyadi described the incident as unfortunate saying as leaders they are now going to intensify operations against pit latrines in bad condition.<\/p>\n
