Police arrest suspected Kawempe serial rapist

A collaborative effort by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has led to the arrest of Tony Ssemanda, a 28-year-old suspect accused of masterminding a string of rape incidents, robberies, and burglaries in Kawempe Division.

Multiple victims have come forward, alleging that Ssemanda's gang would target homes, steal valuables, and subject female victims to brutal sexual assaults. The affected areas include Kazo, Ketifulawo, Mbogo, and Ttula.

"On the night of August 17, at around 2am, three men broke into my house. They robbed me of Shs200,000 and raped me in front of my children. When one of my children switched on the lights, I saw Ssemanda among the attackers. The trauma has left me shaken, but I'm relieved that justice may finally be served," she told this reporter.

ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, confirmed Ssemanda's arrest following a vigorous hunt.
