“The joint security task team of Criminal Investigations Directorate, Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence and [Police] Crime Intelligence that have actively been investigating the violent murder of a city [paralegal] … made a breakthrough and arrested four key suspects, who were involved in the planning and killing of [paralegal],” Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga noted in an update on social media.
A senior police officer, Superintendent of Police (SP) Vincent Irama, the deputy commander of Kampala Metropolitan Police North Region, was picked up after ballistic analysis showed shells of bullets recovered at the scene of a paralegal’s killing were discharged from a finger-printed police gun.
An unknown gunman shot Ronnie Mukisa, 45, dead at his home in Ndejje Division of Makindye-Ssabagabo Municipality of Wakiso District on May 30.
A video clip of the incident showed that the victim, who at the time was a clerk at IBC Advocates in Kampala, did not die of the initial gunshot wounds and the assailant returned to finish him off with extra bullets.
Police speaks out
The facts gathered indicate that the victim and two of the suspects, Karedou Robert and his wife Nalwoga Brenda, knew each other. They however, developed a business conflict, where they claim the victim has swindled over USD1 million, from them.
The two contacted a friend in the police, SP Irama Vincent and together, they hired Cpl Anyuse Max, as a hit man. On the fateful day of 30.05.2023, the soldier got a gun, that he deserted with from the DRC, and trailed the victim, in his Subaru legacy, reg. no. UBJ 006K, dark blue, up to his home in Kitoko-Birongo, Ndejje Division.
