The Police
in the Kiira region have arrested a prime suspect in the death of businessman Shaban
Malore.
Malore was
killed in May by unknown gunmen who were riding on a motorcycle. Malore was returning
to his home in Buweera village, in Buwenge Sub County, in Jinja district.
Issa Malore,
a brother of the deceased was arrested from his hideout in Naluwerere cell, in
Bugiri municipality.
The Kiira
Region Police Spokesperson James Mubi, says that Malore was disguising himself as
Morgan Manihogane and living a quiet life in Bugiri Municipality. He says that
the suspect had also shaved off his hair, to elude arrest.
Mubi says
that Malore was first traced in a shrine in Luuka district in September
last year, but later relocated to Kamuli District. Mubi adds that the suspect has
been changing phones and registering sim cards under different names.
He says that
residents in the area notified police about the suspicious activities of the suspect.
//Cue in:
“as police, we…
Cue out…cannot tolerate that,”.
He says
that, prior to the death of his brother, the suspect had been released after he was arrested for malicious damage, theft, and threatening violence.
Following
the death of Malore, two Jinja-based journalists were detained for their
alleged involvement in the murder and later released on bail. They
are Dennis Isabirye from Baba FM and his counterpart, Ivan
Mutyaba from Busoga One FM.
The
journalists were arrested after electronic evidence linked them to the
individuals who communicated with Malore prior to his shooting.
