Mr David Ssekeba, 24, lost his mother, Jessica Nantege, and younger brother, Timothy Kisuule, in the incident.

“I still mourn over their deaths,” Mr Ssekeba told this publication in a Monday interview.

“The toughest times are when I am going through my phone and see their pictures. It is so painful and often, I break down," he said.
