The incident took place on May 2nd, 2024, at around 8:21 PM at the residence of the victims.The deceased have been identified as 44-year-old Nangobi Hadiija, a Musoga by tribe and resident of the area, and 40-year-old Vincent, also a resident of the same address.

According to eyewitness accounts, the suspect entered the victims’ home while they were preparing supper and attacked them with a machete. The brutal act was witnessed by Nangobi’s 12-year-old daughter, who immediately reported the incident to Ibrahim Lukandwa, a local resident. Ibrahim promptly alerted the police who responded swiftly.
ASP TwiineAmazima says Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) and the Homicide Squad from Nakasongola were dispatched to document the scene and gather pertinent evidence. Statements from witnesses were recorded to aid in the investigation process.
The bodies of the deceased were transferred to Nakasongola Health Center IV for postmortem examination, as the suspect remains at large. The police continue to pursue leads in an effort to apprehend Owoyesiga Tarasis and bring him to justice.
The investigation remains ongoing, and police have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in apprehending the suspect.
