“I received a phone call from the site supervisor that our trainee had been cut by a grinding machine while trying to use it,” Baseke said.
” After the incident, the victim was put into a van by a fellow technician to be rushed to the hospital and by the time of arrival at the a Medical Centre in Bugolobi city suburb, Beinomugisha was pronounced dead,” Baseke said.
