On Friday night, March 14, a foul smell led family members to a shallow grave near Mulungi’s home. After alerting the local chairperson, they confirmed it was the child’s burial site and reported the matter to the police.
Investigators established that Mulungi’s husband, Asuman Kabawo, was away in Mbulamuti at the time. The couple had earlier taken their daughter for medical attention before he left, unaware of the tragedy that would unfold.
Detectives visited the scene, exhumed the body, and transported it to Kamuli General Hospital for a postmortem examination.
Busoga North Regional Police Spokesperson ASP Kasadha Michael commended the community for reporting the matter, saying investigations are ongoing to establish the circumstances of the child’s death.
In conclusion, authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to prevent similar tragedies.
