KASAMA LECTURER KILLS SELF

A 28-year-old lecturer of Lukashya Trades Institute in Kasama has committed suicide by hanging.

However, the reason behind the suicide has not been established yet.

Michael Mukabila, of Misamfu Resettlement, committed suicide on Thursday morning, a day after he participated in the International Labour Day activities for the institution.

His mother, Angela Kalimaposa, 56, who was living with him, reported the suicide to the police. Mukabila was married but his wife was in a different location.

Northern Province police commanding officer Lucky Buumba said in a statement that Mukabila was in good health on Wednesday and even marched in commemoration of International Labour Day.

Ms Buumba said Mukabila later phoned his wife around 19:00 hours and had a normal conversation with her before he slept.

She said the victim woke up the following morning and again phoned his wife, whom he wished well together with their daughter before he left for a walk around the farm.

“The victim’s body was later found hanging to a tree by his neighbour after they began searching for him,” Ms Buumba said.

She said the death was later reported to the police officers, who visited the scene and confirmed that it was a suicide case.

Ms Buumba said the victim’s body has been taken to Kasama General Hospital mortuary awaiting post mortem and burial.
