The Elgon regional police spokesperson, SP Taitika Rogers identified the deceased as Sisino Samuel. He said the deceased was a son to Namanuna Ali, a resident of the same area in Namisindwa District. The residents believe the incident happened on Sunday, October 22, at around 8 pm.
SP Taitika said a resident identified as Mujanjami Wamukota reported the shocking revelation to Lwakhakha Police Station. He reported this shortly after he stumbled upon the lifeless body of the juvenile abandoned.
“…The body was lying in a fresh pool of blood with deep cuts at the neck and face,” SP Taitika said.
Preliminary investigations showed that on Sunday, Ali had gone to the nearby trading centre. This prompted the boy to follow him there before the killers ambushed him and inflicted deep wounds on his neck and face.
“..the child left home following the father who had left home for the nearby trading centre to buy some items. It’s believed that the boy found the evil people along the way who stabbed him dead. The motive of the killers has not been established. We’re working tirelessly to apprehend the perpetrators on charges of among others killing the young boy,” SP Taitika added.
He further urged parents to ensure their kids are under maximum care and security before they leave them behind to go do other things.
Following the fateful discovery, they took the body to Mbale City Mortuary for postmortem examination. There after, they handed it to relatives to conduct a proper burial as inquiries into the murder continued.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
