Enanga reported that as the assailants fled the scene, brave boda boda riders pursued them and managed to captured two of the assailants, identified as Enock Sserunkuuma and Noah Lujja. Unfortunately, the third assailant managed to evade capture.
Police identified the deceased assailant as Enock Sserunkuuma, a resident of Lungujja whereas the one who sustained serious injuries after mob action as Noah Lujja whom he said has now regained consciousness but under close watch by police detectives at Mulago.
“We expect our teams to get very good information out of him as investigations continue.” Enanga noted.
While as the motive behind the murder is yet to be determined, Enanga emphasized that it appears to be a targeted incident, as only Bbosa was killed among the vehicle occupants.
According to Enanga, detectives are actively retrieving CCTV footage from the vicinity for valuable information, and the firearm used in the incident has been submitted to ballistic experts.
Enanga commended the public especially the boda boda riders for their prompt response in chasing the assailants acknowledging their contribution to community vigilance.
However, he cautioned against resorting to violence further urging the community to subdue assailants rather than eliminating them, as it could impede investigations into the motive and perpetrators of the crime.
“We thank community for their vigilance especially boda boda for courageously pursuing the assailants. It’s a testament to good community vigilance and neighborhood watch.” he said.
“You need to have them subdued and not kill them since it negatively impacts investigations and establish motive of the crime and the perpetuators .When you eliminate him, we fail to get entire group of perpetuators behind murder plot.” he emphasised.
