Yesterday evening, the UPDF and Police Marine finally managed to pull out the MV Temper wreckage from underneath lake Victoria.

The marine and UPDF team were helped by steel ropes tied on an excavator tractor to pull this boat from the shallow waters of L.Victoria.

The officers have been doing this job for 5 consecutive days to retrieve the debris of the boat where some bodies are believed to be trapped aboard.

The doomed boat capsized last week on Saturday night while carrying dozens of partgoers from Entebbe ( Gabba ) to Mukono ( K-Palm beach ) to enjoy the party which was said to have been organized by Prince Wasajja David.

As we talk right now, 32 bodies have been retrieved while 27 others are survivors. The estimate of people who were on board is over 120 people and they were all enjoying life.
