A family in Doko-Nesenyi village, Kabwangasi Sub County, Butebo District, in Uganda is in shock after a girl identified as Nandudu called her mother a few days after her burial.
The family had erroneously buried a dead body thinking it was their deceased daughter.
“We all got scared because we had just buried her body. We could not believe that our daughter was still alive. We traveled to Kampala where we met her,” Mr. Muyiyi explained.
Mr. Michael Muyiyi narrated that he heard a news report on one of the Jinja-based radio stations that a decomposing body of a girl whose description matched his daughter’s, had been found floating along the shores of Lake Victoria on November 25, 2019.
“The description of the body and the dressing code matched that of my 18-year-old daughter, Winnie Nandudu, who had left home in August,” he said.

Mr. Muyiyi said that he and his brother only identified as Patrick traveled to Kawolo Hospital in Buikwe District to pick the body.
According to the November 26, 2019 post mortem report, the girl died as a result of strangulation and suffocation.
Mr. Muyiyi explained that they were given a clearance letter signed by a police officer before they picked the body.
“When we entered Kawolo hospital, I looked at the girl’s face and body structure and had some doubts but my brother said she was the one. We quickly bought a coffin and brought the body back home for burial,” he explained.
