The Territorial Police in Luwero district is investigating a case of murder by torture that occurred on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at about 2 p.m. at Kiyenje Village Luwero Town Council in Luwero district.
The deceased has been identified as Kibirige Patrick, 15, a resident of Kito-Nakikota in Luwero Town Council.
Preliminary findings indicate that Kiwanuka Senkumba, alias Kiwa, who does outside catering at different functions, suspected the deceased, his causal worker, to have stolen his Shs 150,000.
He allegedly tortured the deceased by beating him until he was unconscious. He was rushed to Luwero Hospital, where he was announced dead.

Regional Police Spokesperson Sam Twiineamaziima says that the suspect also informed the mother of the deceased to go and take care of her son, whom he said “was just sick.” The suspect decided to run away.

“Upon police receiving the information, they responded in time, visited the scene, and documented it by a team of SOCO and homicide. A case of murder was registered, relevant statements were recorded from relevant witnesses, Luwero Hospital was visited, and some exhibits were recovered from the scene as the hunt for the suspect is ongoing,” said Twiineamaziima.
