Two Arrested in Katabi Town Council over Death of 3-Year-Old Boy

The Police in Entebbe has arrested two people for allegedly killing a 3-year-old boy in Katabi Town Council. 

The body of Simon Onyait was found in one of the rooms of an unfinished building in Nalugala Mawugulu Zone, Wakiso District.  The unfinished building was being occupied by one of the suspects only identified as Kasawuli.  Police also arrested the boy's stepfather, Francis Onyango.

According to Luke Owoyesigyire, the Kampala Metropolitan Area Deputy Spokesperson, Onyait's mother Anna Kevin Akello informed the police that her son went missing around 6 pm on Wednesday.

Akello says this was after she returned from work and did not find the Onyait at home. 

According to Owoyesigyire, Akello and other residents found Onyait’s body in the unfinished building. The body had two stab wounds and Kasawuli's clothes were recovered with blood stains. 

He says the two suspects are helping the police in the investigations.

Some of the residents led by Lawrence Muliika, the area councilor, and Shaban Mubiru say cases of insecurity are on the increase in Katabi Town Council.

They want security personnel to increase surveillance and night patrols in the area.

On Tuesday, another resident of Katabi Town Council, Fred Golooba, was killed by unknown people.
