Five suspects are in custody at the Kikuube central police station for allegedly murdering a man.
The five, whose particulars have been concealed for fear of jeopardizing police investigations, are accused of murdering Enock Atuhura, a resident of Nyakabonge village in Kinogozi parish, Buhimba sub-county of Kikuube district.
The incident happened at around 10 p.m. on Sunday last week. It is reported that on the fateful night, Athuhura while drinking in a local bar picked a quarrel with his colleagues over a maid in the same bar. In the process, he was reportedly stabbed in the left chest and started bleeding profusely.
He was rushed to Hoima Regional Referral Hospital for treatment where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, says that following the incident, police arrested five suspects who are currently in custody at the Kikuube Central police station for murder. He explains that the hunt for other accomplices who participated in the murder is ongoing.
He says that the suspects will appear before the court once police investigations are complete.
