The officer

says the boy has been a pupil in primary six at Kamasasa primary school in
Karambi sub-county.
The OC says

Police was
called to the scene; the body was retrieved and taken to Bwera Hospital for a
postmortem test before being handed over to the family for burials.
Kawonawo

absent from school to go and mine sand.
Meanwhile,
police in Bwera have described as an accident a fire that killed two children
burnt in the house in Kayanzi landing site in Nyakiyumbu sub-county.
Vincent
Mwesigye, the Officer in Charge of Bwera police post says two children aged
fourteen and eighty mistakenly left the candle lit as they went to sleep on
Tuesday night. Their mother a Congolese national was away by that time.
It was too
late for the neighbors to save the girls when they saw flames from the house.
