Four family members have died
of suspected food poisoning in
the central Uganda district of
Luweero, police said on Monday.

Issa Semwogerere, Savannah
Region police spokesperson, told
Xinhua by telephone that the
dead included a couple aged 63
and 60 and their two
grandchildren aged five and six.

“They were found dead in the
house on Monday morning. We
highly suspect it is poisoning but
we shall wait for the final postmortem,’’ he added.

Semwogerere said they had to
break the door of the family
house where they found the
bodies in beds.

“We have also taken the food
samples found in the house for
examination,’’ he added.

In March, one person died while
several others were hospitalized
after eating suspected poisoned
food at a funeral in the northwestern district of Maracha.
