Busia Governor Sospeter Ojaamong wants the spate of killings in Akobwait village in Teso South for the last six years investigated.
In the latest killing, Leonaria Nafuna Nyongesa was murdered in her house in a bizarre incident that has shocked the residents.
Addressing mourners during her burial on Saturday, the governor said it appears the killers are people from the neighbourhood.
