Three suspected motorcycle thieves have been lynched by a mob in Bukomansimbi district.
The trio reportedly attempted to kill a motorcyclist they had hired to take them Bukomansimbi from Masaka.
The motorcyclist identified as John Matovu then made alarm that attracted residents who then came to his rescue and instead lynched the three.
Police arrived at the scene and shot in the air to disperse the mob, but were too late to save the suspects’ lives.
