Police in Kabale District are investigating two suspected suicide incidents after two men were found dead in separate locations on Monday.
According to the Uganda Police Force, the first case involved Michael Twesigomwe, a resident of Makanga Cell in Kabale Municipality who was working as a shamba boy in Kamuganguzi Sub- County. His body was discovered at Rwamucumo Cell in Nyakasharara Parish. Police believe the incident may have occurred between March 15 and March 16, though the exact time and circumstances remain unclear.
In a separate incident reported in Kyambinga Village, Ntarabana Parish in Buhara Sub- County, Benson Twinomuhangi was also found dead in a garden. Police say the deceased had reportedly struggled with mental health challenges from time to time.
Officers from Kabale Central Police Station visited both scenes and postmortem examinations were conducted to establish the exact causes of death as investigations continue.
The Kigezi Regional Police Spokesperson, Elly Maate, urged members of the public to seek help from relevant authorities and support services when facing personal challenges.
“People should always seek services from the relevant offices to resolve their grievances amicably rather than taking actions that do not solve the problem,” he said.
Police have encouraged community members to support one another and report individuals who may be struggling so they can receive timely assistance
