The territorial police of Kawempe are investigating a case of murder against Gideon Nabasa, 31, a private security guard with the Afrisafe Guard company. The police officers who were on Saturday on motorised patrols in Kazo Lugoba Zone, Kaazo Ward, Nabweru Division, Wakiso District, found Nabasa carrying a sack on a motorcycle with registration number UFG 635P.

The officers were suspicious of what he was carrying and asked for a search. They found the dead body of a male adult, suspected to be in his early 20s, in the sack and immediately arrested him.

A team of investigators was called to the scene and the body was later conveyed to the city mortuary in Mulago for a post-mortem.

The body also had two wounds that were suspected to be the result of a stabbing.

Nabasa hasn’t yet cooperated well with the police to help identify the deceased and where they got the body from.

Luke Owoyesigyire says that the police have launched investigations into identifying the deceased.

The suspect has been detained at Kawempe Police Station on allegations of murder.
