Bosco and his two children, Sherina Nankindu and Simon Trevor Ssenvonio, died in a road accident on the Entebbe Express highway in the country Uganda.

The three family members were scheduled to be buried on Wednesday, March 18 at 4 p.m., but the plans were disrupted after Bosco’s wife and mother-in-law failed to reach an agreement.

Why are Bosco Ssenyonjo’s wife and mother fighting over the body?

Following the disagreement, the Masaka High Court stopped the funeral and postponed the date until the family reaches an agreement.

What was the original family agreement?

A day before the scheduled funeral, a dispute arose over the place of burial between the widow and her husband’s family. The judge advised the parties to go to arbitration and reach an agreement on the place of burial.

He gave the family three hours to reach an agreement, warning that if they failed, the three bodies would be put on the grave while the court continued to deal with the matter.

For luck Unfortunately, the two sides could not reach an agreement, each side insisting on its right over the businessman’s body.

According to some relatives who attended the arbitration, the widow had previously agreed to bury her children in the family land in Kaduggala-Mukungwe Cell while also respecting the wishes of the deceased’s mother to bury her son in a natural cemetery.
