One person has been arrested by detectives led by the deputy Inspector General of Police, Maj. Gen Steven Sabiiti Muzeyi in connection to armed attacks that left three family members dead in Lyantonde District on Sunday night.
Francis Rwabagabo and his wife Kellen Nakato were shot inside their home in Kaliiro Township in Kaliiro Sub County at around 9pm.
Hours later, the assailant raided Rwabagabo’s sister in-law, Leokadia Kizza’s home at Kaliiro III Village, located two kilometers away and shot her dead.
Police yesterday evening said one Ben Kakuru had been arrested from Rwampara in Mbarara.
“The Deputy Inspector General of Police is still leading a team of detectives in the area and so far they have arrested one suspect in connection to the crime.
