Hours after Ugandan minister, Pastor Simon Kakande, prayed for the safety of himself and his family, Shurland Chance, 29, was found dead, with his face completely missing, in the middle of the road near the village cemetery.
Grieving relatives said yesterday that the father of two, of Taylor Trace, Rochard Douglas Road, St Mary’s Village, Moruga, could only be identified by the clothing and black slippers he was last seen wearing when he left home to lime on Friday.
Investigators are, however, awaiting an autopsy, to determine whether Chance was shot or the victim of a hit and run accident.
Hours before Chance’s death, Kakande had been winding up proceedings on the final night of a crusade being held in Chance’s yard.
His body was discovered at about 4 am yesterday by Videsh Charles, who was driving his truck along the Rochard Douglas Road. Charles alerted police, who could not immediately identify Chance because his face was unrecognisable.
Chance was a hunter and dog trainer. Yesterday, his estranged common-law wife, Alicia Sylvester, said that the family was confused over his death.
