A team of investigators from Kibaale CPS found Mayengo’s torso buried in a swamp in Nsonga village.  They retrieved the body on Wednesday and took it to Kibaale Health Center IV for postmortem before handing it over to his relatives for burial. 

According to Hakiza, the suspects will before court force murder once police investigations are complete.
