Nagirinya murder: The roles played by each suspect

The police spokesperson, Fred Enanga has said security is currently having in custody four suspects in the kidnap and murder of Maria Nagirinya and her driver, Ronald Kitayimbwa.

On the night of August 28, unidentified men grabbed driver Ronald Kitayimbwa and Nagirinya, a former employee of Community Integrated Development Initiative, an NGO from her gate in Busega Lungujja before their bodies were later found in Mukono.

The duo were kidnapped as they arrived at Nagirinya’s home in Lungujja.

Last week, security led by the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) led the suspects to eight scenes of crime in the districts of Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono right from where they got boda bodas at ABC school in Nateete to Nagirinya’s home where she was kidnapped up to Mukono where her body was dumped.

Addressing journalists on Monday, the police mouthpiece said the scene reconstruction helped security get to know the roles played by each of the suspects.

Kasolo Copriano aka Arsenal

According to the police spokesperson, Kasolo was the man captured on CCTV camera at Kinawataka  driving Nagirinya’s vehicle , a Toyota Spacio registration number UBA 570V and led the mission that saw Nagirinya and Kitayimbwa kidnapped and later killed before their bodies were dumped in a swamp in Mukono.

Johnson Lubega aka Rasta

Also known as Etoo, Lubega confessed to having been the one together with Kasolo who planned the entire mission and was the second in command to the Arsenal in the mission.

Kisekka Hassan aka Masada

This, according to the police spokesperson, hired the two boda bodas from ABC Nursery and Primary School used in the mission to transport the kidnappers up to Lungujja where Nagirinya and Kitayimbwa were kidnapped from.

He is also accused of personally hitting Kitayimbwa with a car jerk on the head shortly after the kidnap and the later died.

Kalyango Nasif aka Muwonge

The Boda boda rider is accused of having transported the kidnappers cum killers on his motorcycle to Lungujja where the kidnap happened.

According to Enanga, on dropping the kidnappers to the crime scene, Kalyango also waited for them to finish their mission before leaving and according to security, interrogation has proved this role.

 Suspects on the run

The police spokesperson said three other suspects are still on the run but noted security is on their heels and that soon they will be arrested.

He noted that among those being looked for is another man suspected to have been the mastermind of the mission together with Kasolo.

According to Enanga, security is also looking for two other boda boda riders including one who also transported the suspects to Lungujja for the mission.

The police mouthpiece said the other boda boda rider is accused of being approached to transport the three suspects for the mission but he refused.

“He got wind of the mission but he kept quiet and never alerted security of what was going to happen. We want him to come and answer queries,”Enanga said.

The police mouthpiece said the file for the four suspects who are already in custody and have recorded their statements has been finalized and will soon be sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for advice.

He said the three other suspects who have not yet been arrested would be added later.
