A BODA BODA rider suspects that the woman, whose partly decomposed remains were recovered in the city last week, could be his wife.

Joseph Tumwesigye, a resident of Kansanga, a Kampala suburb, yesterday went to Mulago Hospital where he narrated his grief to staff and attendants.

Tumwesigye disclosed that he met Agnes Namubiru, mother of his twin daughters, four years ago.

“We lived happily in Kansanga until my wife disappeared on January 19. I have searched for her but all in vain,” Tumwesigye told The New Vision yesterday.

An unidentified torso and legs that were recovered from a swamp and toilet in Kinubi Zone, Bwaise, another city suburb, are still at the hospital.

Only days earlier, a head suspected to be a man’s, was recovered from the area.

But health experts and the Police, investigating the murder advised him to return to the hospital with his two daughters and the woman’s parents for tests.

“That night I did not sleep because I was perturbed. One of the twins slept at my landlord’s home,” he said.

One of the suspects held in connection with the murder has been transferred from Kawempe Police Station to an undisclosed location.
