SP Michael Kananura, the Community Liaison Officer/ Public Relations Officer Directorate of Traffic & Road Safety, said Risdel died in a single-vehicle road traffic accident that occurred on January 3, 2025, at 1:00 pm.

“Unfortunately, Mr Kasasira succumbed to drowning. The other occupants sustained injuries.”

The victims; Nshimire, 36, and her children; Aretha Ntone, 5, and Elerio Nowangye, 3, are currently admitted at Lyantonde Hospital. Risdel’s body was conveyed to the hospital’s mortuary.

The vehicle was towed to Lyantonde Police Station.
