Uganda fuel tanker fire: Families clash over bodies
There was commotion at Mulago Hospital mortuary when four families claimed two bodies, arguing that they were of their relatives who perished in Saturday's inferno.
The bodies are among the eight that were burnt beyond recognition.
The hospital administration and Police withheld the contested bodies until DNA tests are carried out to establish their identities.
Kampala metropolitan spokesperson Ibin Ssenkumbi said some members of the bereaved families claimed they would be able to recognise the bodies of their relatives who were severely burnt. But four different families ended up claiming two bodies.
He said the relatives of the unidentified victims were told to go back to the hospital on Monday, when the DNA results will be released.
