The victims, who were celebrating their honeymoon, had their lives tragically cut short during this joyous occasion. The bodies of the foreign tourists are currently being held in the mortuary at Mulago National Referral Hospital.
The body of the Ugandan guide/driver, Eric Alyai, has already been handed over to his relatives after a postmortem examination.
”Forensic experts from the UK and South Africa are expected to arrive soon to coordinate with investigative and scientific experts. Together, they will review the circumstances surrounding the violent attack, evaluate the evidence, and conduct a forensic analysis of the collected samples,” says Uganda Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga.
Enanga says following these assessments, an official report detailing the victims’ deaths will be provided.
”As mentioned by His Excellency, The President, the UPDF Mountain Brigade and Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) continue their relentless pursuit of the terrorists who fled the scene,” says Enanga adding;
”The Security team reassures all Ugandans and visitors that ensuring the safety of tourists remains a top priority.”
