On Wednesday, a team of army officers formally started investigations into the cause of the helicopter Jet Ranger AF 302 that crashed killing two its only occupants, Maj. Naomi Karungi and Lt. Benon Wokalu.

During Karungi’s requiem mass in Bugologi on Thursday the Chief of Defence Force, Gen. David Muhoozi confirmed the probe.

He said the team is being led by his deputy, Lt. Gen. Mbadi. Key on what investigators are looking at is the weather conditions.

On Tuesday, rains hit the country. Butambala, where the incident happened was not spared.

This has forced the probe team to look into fog as first cause of the accident.
