A 31-year-old businesswoman in Amukura in Teso South died yesterday while trying to procure an abortion.

Judith Amoit, the proprietor of Enjoy Hotel in Amukura district headquarters, was found lying dead in her residential house.

It is alleged that the woman had tried to conceal the pregnancy which she got with another boda boda.

Teso police boss Elphas Korir said they have launched investigations to unravel the mystery behind the woman's action.
