Four individuals have been arrested in connection with the death of 30-year-old Mwesigwa Nazario, who succumbed to injuries sustained during an assault in Rukungiri municipality.
According to police spokesperson for Kigezi, ASP Elly Maate, the incident occurred on June 23, 2024, at around 4:22 am at Kibale Cell, Karangaro Ward, Western Division, Rukungiri municipality.
