Face restored
Reports have emerged that the family has brought in experts to reconstruct the face of the deceased, which was completely destroyed by fire during the accident.
It was reported that the experts were tasked to restore especially the facial features to allow an open-casket funeral.
Hon Minsa Kabanda, the Minister for Kampala who visited the bereaved family on Monday collaborated these reports.
“The body is currently at the funeral home, but I heard that the face is now visible,” she said.
Family needs comfort
Mrs Kabanda said she met with Mr Sudhir and his wife Jyosna, and comforted them.
“They seemed very firm, but they will certainly need to be comforted more in the days to come,” she said.
