Police have placed a shs50 million reward to whoever provides information leading to the arrest of a key suspect in the gruesome murder of a couple in Entebbe earlier this month.
David Mutaaga, 69, and his wife Deborah Florence Mutaaga, 62, were found murdered in the early hours of July 6, at their home in Lugonjo-Nakiwogo Cell, Entebbe Municipality, Wakiso District.
It is said that unknown assailants attacked the couple inside their residence.
On Monday, Police provided a voice recording in which the assailant suspected to have orchestrated the murder was captured calling out Mr. Mutaaga during the heinous crimes.
“Mutaaga, come save your wife,” the suspect is heard saying.
According to Police spokesperson, Kituuma Rusoke, the voice behind the recording is wanted to help in the ongoing investigations.
“The moment you lead us to the suspect or deliver him, she 50 million in cash awaits you. Everybody is called upon to ensure we join the hunt,” Rusoke said.
Police said members of the community who might know the face behind the voice can quietly provide information on emergency line 0769675918.
“Everything is being done by all security agencies to ensure suspect is brought to book,”Kituuma said.
The scene
According to preliminary information as part of the ongoing investigations , the couple had only recently returned from Europe, where they had lived for an extended period.
Their bodies were discovered inside the house after their shamba boy, Ronald Golooba, reported a suspected aggravated robbery to police.
Responding officers found the couple dead, with the female victim partially undressed.
A sniffer dog brought to the scene lost the scent trail at the main gate, suggesting the attackers exited through that route.
The crime scene was processed and documented by the area Scenes of Crime Officer.
Investigators found stab wounds on the left side below the breast of both victims. CCTV footage retrieved from the home shows the assailants gaining entry by jumping over the perimeter fence.
There were signs of forced entry near the master bedroom, with a shattered window and tampered asbestos roofing.
