Police in Kanungu District have arrested a 36-year-old man, Kamugisha Allan, in connection with the murder of his father, Twijukye Milly, a resident of Kanungu Cell, Central Ward, Nyakabungo Town Council.
According to police reports, the lifeless body of Twijukye Milly was discovered on the morning of June 8, 2025, lying in a pool of blood outside the doorway of his home. The body was found by his 17-year-old son, Amutuheire Musa, who had gone to check on him as part of his usual morning routine.
Amutuheire immediately alerted his uncle, Kasigwa Jackson, who confirmed the grim discovery and reported the matter to the area chairman, Banda Alex. Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased was last seen at Kazana Trading Center on the evening of June 7, 2025.
Suspicion quickly turned to Kamugisha Allan, the son of Kasigwa Jackson and a known marijuana smoker, who was seen wearing a coat believed to belong to the deceased. He was later found at a nearby stream, allegedly attempting to wash bloodstains from his clothes and the coat.
Police visited and documented the crime scene, recorded witness statements, and recovered exhibits, including the blood-stained coat and a stone suspected to have been used in the assault. The body was taken to Kanungu Health Centre IV for a postmortem examination.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the motive behind the murder.
Kigezi Regional Police Spokesperson ASP Maate Elly confirmed the arrest and urged the public to remain calm as inquiries continue.
