Police in Bugiri have in custody three people in connection with the kidnap and murder of the District Inspector of Schools, David Tenywa Kazungu.
Those behind bars at Bugiri Central Police Station are Benard Mulondo (KKazungu’s relative), Musa Waiswa and his (Waiswa’s) father Charles Okea all residents of Buyubu village in Kapyanga sub county.
Using his own phone, murderers of Kazungu called his family and directed them the incomplete pitlatrine where they had dumped his body. The family found Kazungu’s body decomposing in the exact pit directed to them by the assailants.
Kazungu’s daughter had on Monday filed a case at Bugiri police station following calls from strangers who used her father’s phone to demand for Shs 20m ransom.
The daughter, according to Busoga East Regional Police Spokesperson, Diana Nandawula, told the police that Kazungu had gone missing since around 11:00am of Saturday last week.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased was on Saturday last seen with a group of casual laborers on his farm in Nandelema village, Kapyanga sub county, Bugiri district.
