Businesswoman murdered in Kabwohe
Police in Sheema District are investigating a shocking incident of murder and aggravated robbery that occurred on March 17 in Rushoroza Cell, Nyanga Ward, Kabwohe Division. The body of 25-year-old Anitah Nsimenta, a local businesswoman was discovered in her home, prompting an immediate search for the unknown assailants.
According to Martial Tumusiime, spokesperson for the Greater Bushenyi Police, Nsimenta was the wife of Cenan Atwiine, a resident of Nyihanga Town in Rwampara District where he runs a business. Concerned after several unsuccessful attempts to reach his wife by phone, Atwiine traveled to her residence to check on her.
Upon arrival, Atwiine noticed that Nsimenta’s mattress and bag were missing. He reported the matter to the police and while he was at the station, neighbors alerted him that they had found Nsimenta’s body lying in the corridor leading to the bathroom.
Tumusiime reported that the deceased was discovered with a sisal rope around her neck and blood was oozing from her nose and mouth alongside visible injuries to her face.
Local residents have named a boda boda rider identified as Jonathan as a key suspect in the case, indicating he may have fled the scene with an unspecified amount of cash, Nsimenta’s mattress, suitcase and other household items.
The police are actively pursuing leads in the investigation as they seek to apprehend those responsible for this heinous crime. As the inquiry continues, authorities urge anyone with information about the case to come forward to assist in the investigation.
