- The family have asked police and court to handle the mysterious death of their sister.
The family of the woman whose remains were recently found in a septic tank at her matrimonial home in Munyonyo, Kampala, after disappearing for close to nine months have said they won’t avenge her brutal death.
This was during Immaculate Mary Blessing Aiso’s burial at her ancestral home in Kaberamaido District at the weekend.
Mr Richard Emou, a retired senior prisons officer, also the family head and the follower to the deceased, said as a family, they were looking up to police and the court to handle the mysterious death of their sister.
He further told mourners who had gathered at Abalang Village in Ochero Sub Town Council that no one from the immediate family of Francis Onebe, the husband of their sister, had showed any remorse.
“As a true Christian family, we asked them to come and attend the sendoff for Immaculate Aiso to which they consented,” he said.
However, Mr Emou was quick to reveal that a distant clan member from Onebe’s side had called a week ago, saying they were equally heart broken.
Aiso went missing from her matrimonial home in Munyonyo on January 6 and her body was recovered from the septic tank on August 28.
Mr Emou said the disappearance of their sister left many glaring gaps since her hand bag and phone were left behind. One of the guards at their home also disappeared.
“We got to know that Bonny Oriokot, a guard at their home, a born of Alwa Sub-county was on the run within Kaberamaido, but as luck had it, he went back and scaled the wall and hid inside the toilet. The guard on duty informed the manager of Pentagon Security Services who informed police,” Mr Emou said.
He explained to the mourners that there was a lot of uneasiness showed by the members of Mr Onebe’s family, the reason why they had to bury his sister at their home and not at her husband’s home as culture demanded.

He told mourners that his 64-year-old sister had one daughter and owned Pentagon Security Services with another business in Nairobi, Kenya, dealing in decoration and designs.
On the issue of her businesses that she owned with her surviving husband, now under police custody, Mr Emou said they would give it a second thought on whether to engage experts or let go since they were run as a family.
The manager of the Pentagon Security Services, Mr Hussein Eminu, also Irarak Ilale chairperson, said he would not love to go and work again at the security firm.
Ms Ivy Inapo, the daughter of the deceased, in her eulogy said God would fight the killers of her mother. She also told mourners that she was representing the family of her father.
