Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Rescuers have so far recovered three of the six bodies of people who went missing following two boat accidents in Lake Victoria on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The retrieved bodies include that of Winnie Busikirwa, 26, a resident of Seeta \u2013Nazingo Village, Mukono District and her two-year \u2013old daughter Charity Nabwire.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has managed to retrieve some two bodies and we shall resume the search on Saturday morning [today],\u201d Mr Milton Ekopason, the officer in charge of Marine Police at Katosi landing site said on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

The ill-fated giant wooden boat locally known as Kinaala , according to police, was transporting passengers and cargo from Kisaba landing site in Kyamuswa County, Kalangala District to Katosi landing site in Mukono District. A total of 14 people are said to have been on board and nine survived \u2013implying that three are still missing.<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, when people drown in deep waters of the lake , it takes three to four days to recover the bodies and chances are high to find the remaining bodies tomorrow or on Sunday,\u201d Mr Ekopason added.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon, divers also managed to retrieve another body of a woman who drowned on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The deceased Betty Nabwire, 45 was in another small boat together with her husband Richard Ongodia , 50, who survived death<\/p>\n

The couple, who are residents of Bussi fishing Village, Lwomolo Parish in Koome Sub County, Mukono District were returning from their garden on Kisi Island where they had gone to collect food.<\/p>\n

Mr Ekopason said both accidents were a result of overloading and turbulent waves on the lake.<\/p>\n

Water transport is usually risky during the period Between March to August as a result of strong winds and turbulent waves on the lake .But these days strong winds strike regularly, especially at night.<\/p>\n
