MASAKA-UGANDA/Newsday: The puzzle to solve machete killings in Masaka became more complicated on Sunday, after the 23rd murder took place and the assailants took courage,calling the daughter of their victim “we have killed your dad, come for the body”.

Calling victims is a new tactic and it has complicated the puzzle to find the masterminds even after the President said on Friday “we now know who they are”.

During the August 28, 2021 night, machete wielders killed a one Kirembwe Henry, an 81 year old peasant, of Kyoko village, Kaganda parish, Kkingo subcounty in Lwengo district adding to the surging number of victims and terror in the area.

The killers after the murder of Kirembe, took off with the telephone handset of the deceased and later calling his daughter Birabwa Rosemary (+46766102959) who is currently staying in Sweden telling her “pick his body, we have killed him”.
