Police Hunt 25-Year-Old Suspect Over Alleged Murder of Casual Labourer in Ibanda

​

Police in Ibanda District have launched a manhunt for 25-year-old Agaba Alex over the alleged murder of Masereka Didas, a 35-year-old casual labourer whose body was discovered by the roadside in Kakyindo Cell, Kicuzi Sub-County.

The incident was reported on October 31, 2026, at about 7:00am after residents found Masereka’s naked body and alerted the area LC I chairperson, who subsequently notified police.

Officers from Kicuzi Sub-County and Ibanda Central Police stations, accompanied by the Scene of Crime Officer and canine unit, visited and examined the scene.



Police said a sniffer dog named DONATELLA picked up a scent and tracked it to the residence of the suspected assailant, Agaba Alex, who was reportedly missing and believed to have fled towards Queen Elizabeth National Park.

The dog subsequently led officers to the suspect’s bedroom, where clothes bearing suspected bloodstains were recovered as potential exhibits.

Masereka’s body was taken to Ruhoko Health Centre IV for a post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death.
