A yet-to-be-identified woman has survived being lynched by an angry mob in Kinyamaseke Town Council, Bukonzo County East in Kasese District on allegations of killing her niece.
Sources told our reporter that the woman allegedly strangled a 9- year-old girl to death and later tied a rope around her neck in disguise that she had committed suicide.
Mr. Ernest Kyamakya, the Kinyamaseke Town Council Chairperson has confirmed the incident to Messiah Radio in a telephone interview and said the residents who had turned rowdy after being awash with information of the child’s death, reportedly started beating the suspect.
According to him, the deceased, who hails from Amuria in Teso region had paid a visit to her aunt.
Two people have so far been arrested by police at Kinyamaseke to assist in investigations.
