Police in Masaka are investigating a disturbing incident in which an unidentified man in critical condition was abandoned by unknown people between two villages.
Eyewitnesses say the incident occurred along a stretch between Kabaseke and Lambu B villages in the Bukakata sub-county.
They say the unconscious man believed to be in his mid-30s was forced with a shirt and his neck twisted while his hands and legs were tightly bound.
According to Vincent Sseluri, the Vice Chairperson of Lambu B, the concerned passersby alerted local authorities leading to the prompt intervention of officers from LambuPolice Station.
Sseluri further explains that the victim left for dead, is unknown to residents of Lambu and Kabasese villages.
He adds that this is the third case in Bukakata this year after two unidentified people were killed and abandoned in the same area
Sseluri further states that these incidents have caused panic and raised serious concerns among the community members.
Collins Kayabula, the Officer in Charge of Lambu Police Station, says they are still struggling to establish the man’s identity, adding that he is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed health facility.
Kayabula explains that the man has not been able to speak due to his condition but investigations have been launched to establish facts about the incident. However, the police suspect that the criminals may have planned to throw him in Lake Victoria thinking he was dead.
