Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A 22-year-old man was Thursday evening lynched by a mob after he allegedly hacked to death a pastor at Yesu Amala Church in Bumbo Town Council, Namisindwa District. He also allegedly injured the pastor\u2019s wife Ms Agatha Nambuya.<\/p>\n

Police have identified the suspect as Samuel Mangwo, who reportedly hacked Pastor John Wamoto, a resident of Masoola \u2018B\u2019 cell, Laaso ward in Bumbo Town Council, with a panga for a yet-to-be-known reason. This angered the residents who also lynched him.<\/p>\n

The Elgon Regional Police Spokesperson, Mr Rogers Taitika, confirmed the incident saying preliminary investigations indicate that Mangwo was sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s alleged that Samuel Mangwo had some unknown illnesses and was taken to Pastor for healing prayers. But in the process, Mangwo picked a panga from one of the Pastor\u2019s rooms and cut him severally times on the head leading to his death. After the act, Mangwo was also beaten to death. It’s an unfortunate situation but we strongly condemn these criminal acts,\u201d ASP Taitika said.<\/p>\n

Ms Nambuya (pastor\u2019s wife) is currently admitted at Mbale regional referral hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n

ASP Taitika said they have already opened a file to investigate the people behind the mob justice because it\u2019s also unacceptable. He said no arrests have so far been made.<\/p>\n

The deceased\u2019s daughter Ms Mary Nafula, explained: \u201cI went to sleep and left my parents with two visitors who had come to seek prayers from the pastor. Shortly, I heard an alarm at midnight. I rushed to my father\u2019s house and found my father lying in a pool of blood while my mother was in a coma because she sustained serious wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bodies of the deceased were taken to Mbale City mortuary for postmortem as investigations continue.<\/p>\n
