At least three people have been confirmed dead as as many missing after a boat they were travelling in capsized on Lake Victoria in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, sources say.
Stephen Mulaje, a witness, told Nile Post the incident that happened at around 4am.
Preliminary information indicate the boat was carrying 16 people.
At least 10 people have been rescued, three bodies recovered. A search for three missing persons was still going on by the time of publishing this story.
