Police in Alebtong District are searching for a 26-year-old man who is on the run, following the murder of his mother.
The suspect is said to have gruesomely murdered his mother and disposing of her body in the family pit latrine.
Jimmy Patrick Okema, the North Kyoga Police Spokesperson identifies the suspect as Bryan Ongom, a resident of Agwit village, Alanyi Parish, Abako Sub-county in Alebtong District.
Ongom, reportedly hacked his mother 57-year-old Sophia Alwedo, a resident of Agwit village in the wee hours of Monday morning. The suspect has been on bad terms with his parents, whom he accused of only providing for his young sibling.
Last week, he reportedly chased his brother with an axe, intending to harm him, prompting the clan leaders to convene an emergency meeting where Ongom was given several strokes of the cane. The suspect reportedly threatened to kill all his family members.
Okema says that investigations into the matter are ongoing.
A team of police detectives led by District CID visited the scene and have since opened a case at Alebtong Central Police Station as the search for the suspect continues.
