The suspects have been detained at an unidentified location and police are tightlipped on the matter.
Police sources claim that the suspects were tracked down after reviewing CCTV footage on the night Nteireho and Tumukunde were shot, while others were arrested following a review of phone calls the deceased made before he met his death.
Among them include people he met at the different hotels and at Zana supermarket along Entebbe road.
According to particular CCTV footage, the deceased met a group of people driving a harrier in Zana and they held a conversation before driving away following each other.
Hours later, Ntereiho and Tumukunde were shot but the Harrier was nowhere to be seen till to date.
