Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) secretary for mobilisation in Lyantonde District and party chairperson for Lyantonde Town Council, Emmanuel Atuhaire, has been killed in Mbarara City.<\/p>\n

Atuhaire\u2019s body was found dumped on a feeder road in Biharwe, a few kilometres off Mbarara \u2013Masaka Road in Mbarara City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur colleague was murdered on his way from Mbarara. We have seen the body and confirmed that it is him. We are saddened by his death. He was a very courageous, kind person who wished every one well. We have missed a very resourceful person,\u201d Mr Edward Miiro, his vice chairperson for mobilisation, said yesterday.<\/p>\n

Rwizi region police spokesperson Samson Kasasira confirmed the killing and said police had registered a case of murder in Biharwe on Saturday at around 3pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a case of alleged murder of an unidentified male adult aged about 45 years who was found lying on the roadside on Koranorya-Nyakinengo feeder road. His body had some fresh wounds around the face and seemed to have been strangled, carried and dumped by unidentified people travelling in a vehicle,\u201d Mr Kasasira said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe body had no identification documents on it and we have not established where he was killed from. We cannot say he is the person they are referring to until we get details from his relatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both police and FDC party officials could not readily tell the motive of the murder and we could not immediately trace his relatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
