Greater Bushenyi regional police spokesperson SP Apollo Tayebwa identified the suspects as Onan Nimwesiga and another man only identified as Farouk.
Both men, he said, were allegedly boyfriends to the deceased and are now central to the early stages of the investigation.
Tayebwa said the suspects were being questioned to help police determine the circumstances leading to Karunga’s death.
“We have two suspects in custody who were close to the deceased, and they are assisting us as we work to establish what exactly happened. We appeal to anyone with relevant information to come forward. Public cooperation is key in helping us bring the perpetrator to justice,” he said.
Police have urged residents to remain calm and avoid speculation as investigations continue.
