On 20 March 2026, residents of Kiryanongo village in Bananywa reportedly attacked the home of Semasaka and Hakiza Damascene following the detection of a strong, unpleasant smell.
Upon searching the house, they found body parts belonging to a woman from Nakabugo village who had been reported missing for several days. Some of the remains were reportedly stored in a bag. Angered by the discovery, the residents allegedly beat the two men to death.
Following the incident, the Kiryanongo village leader alerted Bananywa Police, who involved district authorities to investigate the case.
Luke Kigozi, spokesperson for the Uganda Police in the Wamala region, condemned the violence and confirmed that an investigation has been launched into both the death of the woman and the attack on the two men.
The bodies of Semasaka, Hakiza, and the woman were taken to Ntwetwe Health Centre for examination.
