Busia: Body of man who went missing on Thursday found in a river in Teso

Investigations are underway after a 53-year-old man from Morkeyan village in Teso Central, Busia County, was found dead.

Preliminary reports indicate that the man, who went missing three days ago, was found dead in a river in the area.

Charles Oteba was last seen on Thursday at Simba Chai market before his body was discovered Sunday evening in a river near the market, showing no visible injuries.

It is believed that the deceased, who was reportedly intoxicated at the time he was last seen, may have been attempting to cross the river when he fell in and drowned.
