Possible dowry death in Uganda

Was It a Dowry Death? (allAfrica.com)

The unclear circumstances surrounding Sonalben Patel's death in Uganda have led to speculation that this might be a case of 'dowry death'.

She is said to have sustained fatal burns when a paraffin stove exploded while she was cooking. The hurried cremation of her body and her husband's hurried departure from Uganda is raising many questions.

This is the third such incident (Indian housewife dies after a fiery accident) in Uganda and the Indian Association in Uganda is co-operating with the police.

Earlier report with some additional details
