According to the Police, Bishamiko's condition started worsening in no time and was referred to Mbarara Referral Hospital for treatment.

Unfortunately, Bishamiko died as he was being rushed to the hospital.

The cause of his death, the Police suspect, was a result of internal and external injuries Bishamiko sustained when he was beaten up by a mob over allegedly killing his wife.
 
Evalyline Nabaasa, 35, was reportedly killed in a domestic fight in which her husband cut off her head.
