The recovery followed alerts from the community members who noted that one of their members had gone missing and her known mobile numbers off after a fight that erupted between her and the husband.
Residents immediately held a search which landed them to the bodies dumped in a pit latrine.
These alerted Masaka fire brigade police which rushed to the scene and recovered the bodies.
