A Senior Two student of Nyenga SSS, in Buikwe District, has been found dead after he  committed suicide.

In an interview with a local News paper, relatives opened up that Mutalabani Ssemugoma, 16 years old committed suicide after he ‘ate’ dime meant for his school fees.

His body was over the weekend found dangling in his bedroom at his home.

“My brother was given an unspecified amount of fees by our mother but he did not reach school on that day. He returned on Saturday. When I asked him where he was on Friday, he told me that he was at the casino,” his brother, Isa Kabere, said.

However, at around 6pm on Sunday, the deceased reportedly bid his friends ‘farewell’ as they played football, saying he was going to kill himself but he was not taken seriously.

“we thought he was hurrying to take some water since they had been playing for the day; but he instead locked himself in the bedroom and hanged himself with a cloth,” he said.
