He will pay his condolences, and sort out any matters that may arise.”

Alwori and the driver Sam Tabu, died on the spot.

Alwori’s family yesterday said they had halted the burial, awaiting an explanation from Latigo, as to why he was traveling with their daughter at 3:00am.

Alwori was set to join Uganda Christian University for a bachelors’ degree.

Hundreds of mourners and friends the deceased Alwori on Thursday thronged her parents home, to pay their last respects to her.

Alwori’s Uncle Sam Okwir assured the mourners that police was investigating the circumstances which led to the accident.
