“Malimali confessed to the murder though he claimed it was a kidnap.”
The Police mouthpiece explained that investigations found out that Malimali was in a love relationship with Njiba before the latter got another boyfriend and it is suspected she was killed due to revenge by her boyfriend for having been betrayed.
On Sunday evening, the deceased’s decomposing bodies were recovered from a rental house in Mengo by residents who were alerted by a nasty smell from the house.
The two girls had earlier been reported missing from Entebbe and police had started an operation to look for them.

Police opened up a file vide CRB 030/2019 and the suspect is currently detained at Old Kampala police station as more investigations to establish the real motive are ongoing.
