A man in Sironko district is on the run for attempting 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.
Tom Kidandi, the LC I chairperson of Mayiyi village, says that Manake developed misunderstandings with his wife only identified as Iren on Saturday on the parentage of their three-year-old son.
He says that as local leaders they intervened in the matter and counseled the couple thinking that they have reconciled.
Kidandai notes that Manake dug a grave later and tried to bury the minor alive, prompting his life to raise alarm, which attracted locals.
Manake fled into hiding.
Moses Maduli, the LCIII chairperson of Busa-maga Sub County, says that Manake acted under the influence of alcohol, said to be his usual problem causing fights with his wife.
He says that they have launched a manhunt for Manake who is on the run to answer charges of attempted murder.
