It is alleged that yesterday at about 3pm at Seeta Township, three suspects hired a special hire driver one Batte Christopher, 58, a resident of Nyenje to transport them to Bajjo village between 3pm and 6pm.

They then bundled his body in the trunk of his vehicle registration number UAY 765H Toyota Premio white in colour.


As they were driving the vehicle away hastily, it got stuck and they had to call people around to help push it back on road. 


The people saw blood seeping from the car trunk and asked them what they were carrying, but the suspects didn’t give clear answers.

“A knife and rope were recovered in the vehicle” he says
