Rescue teams in Kasese have retrieved the body of Private Lothorach Lokwang who was killed by floods in Bwera.
According to Captain Fredrick Sonko, the 222 Mountain Brigade spokesperson, Lokwang hails from Kotido District and is among eight people who were killed by floods after river Lhubiriha in Bwera burst its banks on Thursday last week.
