The territorial police in KMP North and Wakiso CPS, have put up a serious manhunt, for a one Ssekanjako Vincent, a 40 year old, step-father and casual worker of Temangalo village in Wakiso, for the alleged murder of his 3 year old, step-son, Muwanguzi Muyige, on the 26.03.2024, as revenge, following separation, with his mother.
According to the police spokesperson SCP Fred Enanga, the facts gathered indicate that the suspect was staying with Nakintu Florence, as husband and wife, where her son was 1 year old.
However, on the 25.03.2024, they got misunderstandings, after the wife established that her husband had stolen a mobile phone, TV and Ugx 100,000= from their house which led to a fight. This forced the wife to leave the home, with her 3 year old, son and went to stay with her friend at Temangalo trading centre.
The following day of 26.03.2024, the suspect, went and pleaded with her to return home. During that process, he went with his step-son, to go and buy soda, but disappeared with him. The mother got concerned, at around 10pm, after waiting for them in vain. She alerted other members of the community and an immediate search was conducted. The body of the victim was recovered in a room next to their house.
The victim was struck to the head by the step father, using a sharp object, killing him instantly. The suspect who is on the run, had mapped out and participated in the brutal kidnapping and murder of the step-son.
“When such grievous crimes are committed like this, it shows the dangers that vulnerable children still face in our society. We are going to concert our efforts, to track down the suspect and ensure he is brought to face justice. We will not stop until he is arrested” said Enanga
