At Kirembe quarters, the passenger halted the ride, and while he was distracted, several unknown assailants struck him on the head, rendering him unconscious. They stole his motorcycle, registration number UFA 914 L, a red Bajaj Boxer.
Muhindo was later taken to MT. St. Mary’s Hospital in an unconscious state.

A search of Ronald’s premises uncovered two dismantled motorcycle engines and two chassis frames, along with five sets of motorcycle number plates, all linked to stolen motorcycles previously reported to the police.
