A girl of twelve years drowned to death in lake Mugesera on Monday afternoon and her body was retrieved by the National Police and taken to Kibungo Hospital for a postmoterm.
Erica Mukadusabe, a resident of Mugesera Sector Ngoma district while swimming with other children, dived under but couldn’t surface.
A survey conducted by Police indicates that children who die from drowning fall in water, while adult people are absent or preoccupied with other activities.
“Drowning can be prevented when parents and guardians ensure that children are never left on their own,” Police spokesperson Superintendent Theos Badege said.
“It is parents and guardians responsibility to protect children from such demise”. Badege added
