Police in Rukungiri District have arrested two suspects amid an ongoing hunt for others still at large in connection with the murder of 20-year-old boda-boda rider Martin Twebaze, commonly known as Kagame.
Twebaze, who was a resident of Iterero Cell, Kacence Parish, Nyakishenyi Sub-County in Rukungiri District, went missing on July 30, 2024, and his decomposing body was found on Tuesday in Echuya Forest Reserve in Muko Sub-County, Rubanda District.
His motorcycle was reported robbed when he was hired by Chrysostom Byomugabe and Amon Asiimwe with the pair asking Twebaze to transport them from Iterero Trading Centre to Kisoro Town for a Shs60, 000 substantial payment.
Police on Wednesday said they had detained Byomugabe and Asiimwe over the murder, noting that they had been staying in Iterere disguising as casual labourers.
According to a July 30 police statement, Byomugabe initiated the ride at around 6:30pm from the Kampala Omukiragiro boda-boda stage in Kacence Parish, Nyakishenyi Sub-County, Rukungiri District.
