A mother wants the body of her 32-year-old son exhumed after her estranged lover buried it despite a court order prohibiting him from doing so.

Raphael Gona, who died in January, was born out of a union between Timothy Mwambogo and Prisca Gona. However, the relationship collapsed two years after their son was born and they went their separate ways, with the boy moving away with his mother.
