"The last body which was still missing surfaced this morning (Wednesday). It was part of the five which drowned at Hamukaka landing site on Lake Bunyonyi," said Maate, noting that this ends the one-week long search by locals and the marine police.
The deceased were using a local boat from Hamukaka landing site crossing to Karambo village where they always cultivate when strong winds and water waves made the boat capsize, according to police.
