Police in Kagadi District are holding two men in connection with the suspected murder of their 95-year-old mother, Kabagenzi Angela, a resident of Matuntu A Village.

According to police, Kabagenzi went missing from her home on the night of September 4, 2026. Her body was discovered the following morning, about 300 metres from her home, in a sugarcane plantation.

Police said the body was found without the head, prompting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

A police team responded to the scene with a sniffer dog and established a possible route through the thick sugarcane plantation.

Police sniffer dog T/P 240 Marshal was introduced to the scene and picked up a scent, which officers said it tracked to the home of Biija Peter, one of the deceased’s sons.

The dog then proceeded to the home of another son, Isingoma, who, together with Biija, is now being held as police continue investigations into the suspected murder.

Police have not yet disclosed a possible motive for the killing.
