The assailants then removed their tongues. The village chairperson, Mr. Jamil Musoke reported the gruesome murder to Ngogwe police and they have since opened an investigation.
Authorities identified the deceased as a 20-year-old bodaboda rider named Henry Mukasa and, 50-year-old Charles Enima, both residents of Kitutu village. The Ssezibwa regional police spokesperson, Hellen Butoto identified the men.
Reports also indicate that Mr. Enima met his death after visiting his sister Ms. Maria Agiyo who lives 500 meters away from his home.
‘’After committing the murders, the killers removed their tongues and fled, leaving the victims in a pool of blood,’’ Ms. Butoto said.
She added that the killers murdered Mr. Mukasa after he saw and identified the killers of Mr. Enima, who he had caught red-handed.
‘’He (Mukasa) was later pursued and stabbed in the neck with a machete, before having his hands chopped off,’’ she said.
This is, however, not the first incident of its kind to happen in the area according to Mr. Christopher Sseruyange, a councillor in the area. He said two years ago youths from other areas came to the area with the purpose of killing people.
Similarly, police in Masaka District are hunting for assailants who killed a man on Monday and made away with his head. The assailants broke into the home of John Ssebakiga and decapitated him before making their great escape.
They discovered his body on Tuesday morning lying in a pool of blood. Locals further concluded it was probably a sacrifice.

![[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.
