Mr. Gerald Mumbere, a suspected thief survived lynching by an angry mob this morning in Katholhu village in Nyakiyumbu sub-county over allegations of stealing half sack of fresh coffee cherries from the farmer.
No official comment yet from police but the chairperson local council three for central division in Kasese Municipality, Mr. Safari Martin who reached at the scene confirmed the information without divulging details.
The suspect, Mr. Gerald Mumbere in his thirties, resident of Karambi sub-county pleaded guilty, alleging his action to persistent economic hardship that couldn’t allow him raise money to buy clothes for Easter but in vain. Mr. Gerald speaking…
Mr. Milton Maate, a farmer said he arrested Gerald with aid of his brother after tracking the suspect for long time.
Mr. Milton speaking…..
The church and Government strongly condemns acts of theft but calls the public to engage in active production for sustainable livelihoods. By press time police had not reached at the scene. END.
