Police in Kitagwenda District have arrested Amarakutunga Levi, a local musician and male councilor representing persons with disabilities, in connection with the suspected ritual murder of a 4-year-old child from Nyaruhanda Village.
The child, who had been sent to a neighbor’s house on March 16, 2025, went missing and was later found dead in a bush the following morning. The investigation, led by local authorities, included the use of a K-9 unit that tracked the child’s scent to Levi’s home, located about 300 meters from the crime scene.
Further investigation uncovered crucial evidence, including a suspected bloodstained panga found approximately 200 meters from the body. A search of the suspect’s home revealed a bucket filled with water, containing clothes and blood, along with blood stains on the wall of one of the rooms.
Levi is currently in police custody as investigations into the crime continue.
