Man in trouble for attempting to bury his Three-year-old son alive
Authorities in Sironko district are searching for a man who attempted to bury his three-year-old son alive.
The suspect is 38-year-old Simon Manake, a resident of Mayiyi village Bukusege parish Busamaga Sub County in Sironko district.
According to Tom Kidandi the LC I chairperson of Mayiyi village, Manake developed misunderstandings with his wife only identified as Irene on Saturday over the parentage of their three-year-old son.
He says that as local leaders they intervened in the matter and counselled the couple thinking that they had reconciled.
However, Manake dug a grave later and tried to bury the minor alive prompting his wife to raise an alarm, which attracted locals. Manake fled into hiding.
Moses Maduli, the LCIII chairperson of Busamaga Sub County, says that Manake acted under the influence of alcohol, adding that is fond of excessive alcohol consumption, which forces him into fights with his wife.
They have launched a manhunt for Manake who is on the run to answer charges of attempted murder.
