It is alleged that on September 20th, 2022, Begumisa requested Shillings
50,000, which was part of the Shillings 1 million she had acquired under the
Parish Development Model-PDM, to go drinking. However, Nyarabakire declined the
request.
The following day, Nyirabakire used the PDM funds to purchase seven
goats for rearing.
Begumisa reportedly became furious and purchased poison, which
he administered to all seven goats, resulting in their immediate deaths. He
then went into hiding.
Nyirabakire later reported the incident to Kagadi police,
prompting them to launch an investigation and search for the suspect. Julius Hakiza,
the Albertine region police spokesperson stated that they successfully
apprehended the suspect on Tuesday and took him to Kagadi Central Police
Station, where he is currently detained.
//Cue in: “ We arrested him…
Cue out:… goats they died.”//
Hakiza further explained that the police have preferred charges
of injuring animals against the suspect and forwarded his case file to the
Resident State Attorney for review and further guidance.
