Suspects Arrested in Sheema District Murder Case
Police in Sheema District have arrested one person and are actively searching for another in connection with the murder of a 68-year-old man.
The incident occurred on March 9, 2025, at around 12:00 PM in Nyamwambo Cell, Kasana Sub County, Sheema District. Marcial Tumusiime, the Greater Bushenyi police spokesperson, confirmed the details and identified the suspects as Fred Murangira, 38, and Obed Bariho, both residents of the area.
The deceased, Patrick Kanwa, 68, was a peasant and a resident of Nyakibere 2 Cell in the same sub-county. It is alleged that Kanwa had been involved in an extramarital affair with Ketra Manywoha, who is the wife of Murangira.

It is believed that Murangira and Bariho confronted Kanwa and ultimately assaulted him, leading to his death.
Following the incident, Murangira fled to an undisclosed location, while Bariho was arrested and has been handed over to the police for further investigation and legal proceedings.
