The arrest was confirmed on Monday morning by David Otabongo, the Kakumiro District Police Commander, while speaking to Uganda Radio Network at Kakumiro Police Station.
According to Otabongo, the suspect — whose details have been withheld to avoid jeopardizing ongoing investigations — was arrested on Friday, November 7, 2025.
It is alleged that the suspect was among a group of unidentified assailants who intercepted the deceased, Amos Muhumuza, and killed him as he traveled from Mwitanzige to Kakindo Town, where he had rented a room to operate a bar business.
SP Otabongo confirmed that the suspect is currently in custody at Kakumiro Police Station, adding that investigations are underway to apprehend others who participated in the crime.
