Police say Alituha disappeared from home on February 09, 2023, and the father made an effort to look for him in vain, until he decided to report the case to Kyambogo police station on February 17. Efforts by the police to locate him while still alive also proved futile.

Police preliminary investigations indicate that on the day of his disappearance, Alituha sent a short message service (SMS) to his sister’s phone that his life was in danger and needed family prayers. He, however, did not divulge details of where he was and the extent of the danger.

“A small rope was found tied around the neck of the deceased a sign that he probably committed suicide. Alituha’s father identified the body by the shirt he was putting on.  No arrests have been made but investigations are ongoing,” Mr Onyango said.
