Police in Gomba District are investigating the murder of two men in two separate incidents on Thursday night.
One incident happened at the home of Mr Matiya Ddamulira, a trader at Nkoma village in Mpenja Sub County, when his two workers engaged in a physical fight at around 11pm, leaving one dead.
Police identified the deceased as Gerald Kikutteyo, 40, a resident of Isingiro District who was allegedly killed by his colleague, Zabayo Malusugampologoma, 40, a Rwandan national.
“Zabayo knocked Kikutteyo on the head and finally got a machete and cut him leading to his death. When he noticed that he had killed his colleague, Zabayo removed the body from the bedroom they were sharing and dumped it in the compound of my house,” Mr Ddamulira told police at Kanoni Police Station.
When asked why he killed his colleague, Zabayo said it was the powers of his ‘ancestral spirits’, not his intention.
Zabayo is currently being detained at Kanoni Police Station pending further investigations into the matter.
