Police in Kyegegwa District are investigating a triple murder that occurred on 7 October 2026 at Karokalungi LC I, Kyamagaba Parish, Nkanja Sub-county, Kyegegwa District, in which three people were brutally killed.
The deceased have been identified as Kansiime Christine, 28, her daughter, Miracle, aged one year and three months, and Joan A, 19, a domestic worker employed at Christine’s home.
It is alleged that on 8 October 2026, at approximately 1300 hours, a neighbour visited the deceased’s residence to check on them and discovered their bodies. She immediately alerted other neighbours, who subsequently notified the Police.
Officers from Kyaka II Police Station responded to the scene, with reinforcement from Kyegegwa Central Police Station (CPS).
Upon arrival, the Police established that the scene had been well preserved. A sniffer dog, Bruno, was introduced to the scent bed and picked up a human scent, which he followed during the tracking exercise.
The dog led the officers to a corridor in Bwiliza Ndolobwile Village, where some clothing belonging to one of the deceased was recovered. The tracking trail subsequently led the officers to the home of Bageza Tonesiti, where the clothing was recovered.
Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident following the canine tracking exercise and are being investigated as Police continue with inquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the murders and bring those responsible to justice.
