Police at Wandegeya are holding two suspects in custody in connection with the murder of Kabugo, a 34-year-old resident of Kalerwe.
The suspects have been identified as Ssebuya and Johnson.
Preliminary investigations indicate that yesterday at around 8:00am, information was received by police about a body lying near the fence of Dusuma Garage. They deployed immediately canine.
Upon arrival at the scene, the Police K9 sniffer dog, Pepper, was introduced to the area of crime. He picked up a scent from the body and began tracking. Pepper first tracked for approximately 10 metres before entering the house of the garage askari (security guard). He later exited the house and continued tracking into the garage area, moving around the fence before returning inside the garage.
Pepper eventually led officers to a specific spot within the garage where the askari and other workers usually sit during working hours. Upon reaching this location, he indicated by lying down, signaling the presence of crucial evidence.
At that exact spot, officers recovered a metal bar with visible blood stains, believed to have been used to assault the deceased. A search conducted in the askari’s house further led to the recovery of spears and arrows.
The two suspects are currently detained at Wandegeya Police Division as investigations continue.
