Residents of Kyamatafali Village in Ndagwe Sub-County, Lwengo District, have been left in deep shock and fear following the gruesome recovery of two young boys who had gone missing earlier in the week.
The victims, 6-year-old Hillary Ssebulime and 4-year-old Lawrence Muwumuza, were pupils at Good Hope Nursery and Primary School in Bisasire Village. According to reports, the children left home for school on November 4, 2026, but never returned, prompting an intensive search by anxious parents and community members.
