Speaking with our reporter, Habasa described how, at around noon today, received information from some locals that a young boy working as a casual laborer at the Rukirabashaija Didas family in the same neighborhood had been attacked by unidentified goons who fatally sliced his neck.
Habasa clarified that at the time of the Rakai district child’s death, he was occupied with another fellow boy grazing cows when attackers arrived, seized him, and fatally hacked him, but his companion managed to flee.
