They are accused of murdering Eriya Asaba 24, a resident of the same area when they raided his home around 8 pm on Monday night and hit him to death using a blunt object.
Abel Kapere, the LC I Chairperson of Tweyanze told Uganda Radio network in an interview on Tuesday morning that residents heard the deceased screaming for help and rushed to check what was happening only to find his lifeless body lying in a pool of blood in his compound. The suspect tried to flee the scene prompting residents to pursue and arrest them. They handed them to the police.
According to Kapere, the suspects have been feuding with the deceased over approximately an acre of land in the same village. Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, says that will appear before the court for murder once police investigations are complete. He says the deceased’s body is lying at Kagadi general hospital mortuary pending a postmortem.
