The Mengo
Grade One magistrate’s court has remanded Musa Musasizi also known as Uncle, a suspected
serial killer on five counts of murder. Musasizi, a resident of Mujomba Zone 6
in Nakulabye Division in Kampala appeared before the Mengo Grade One Magistrate,
Amon Magezi on Wednesday afternoon.
Court heard
that on February 22, 2021 while at Mujomba Zone 6 in Nakulabye Rubaga Division
in Kampala District with malice aforethought, Musasizi murdered Mackline
Ahereza. The prosecution told the court Musasizi dumped Ahereza's body in Nateete and
torched it with the help of Abdul Kasaija, a Boda boda rider who appeared
together with him in court.
Musasizi was also charged with the murder of Violet Kansiime and her three
months old baby Abigail Nakitende on March 12, 2021, Moreen Nabirye on March 14,
2021 and Elizabeth Mutesi on March 15 2021. The prosecution records show that
all the murders took place at the same scene in Nakulabye Rubaga Division in
Kampala District.
Magezi didn’t
allow the accused to plead to the charges, saying the offences can only be
tried by the High Court since they capital in nature. The state
attorney, Emily Ninsiima told court investigations into the matter were still
ongoing. As a result, Magezi remanded the accused to Kitalya Government's prison until
April 12, 2021, when they will return to court for the mention of their case.
The
suspects were arrested about two weeks ago by the detectives from the Police Crime
Intelligence Unit and Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence.
According to the Police records, Musasizi would first get
involved in a sexual affair with his victims whom he would invite to his house
before strangling or stabbing them to death. The police records also show that Musasizi
would enjoy seeing his victims struggling for their dear life as they breath
their last.
He would thereafter pack their bodies in sacks together with
plastic bottles and dump them at a nearby ground and torch them. It is also
alleged that Musasizi killed Mutesi for rejecting the Shillings 50,000 he gave
her after having sex. Detectives have since recovered the clothes and phones of
the victims believed to have dumped in a pit latrine by Musasizi.
