Police have in custody a key suspect in chilling murder case of David and Deborah Mutanga, an elderly couple from Entebbe. The killings by stabbing which occurred in July 2025, shook the community and left many residents fearful and angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The couple were well known for their kindness and involvement in local activities, making the crime even more heartbreaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities said the arrest came after Uganda Police announced a UGX 50 million reward for anyone who could provide information on the suspects seen in a disturbing video connected to the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bounty prompted numerous tips, helping detectives identify and track down the suspect. He is now in police custody, where investigators are questioning him to understand the motive behind the attack and to uncover whether others were involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the investigation, police returned the suspect to the scene of the crime in what they called a \u201creconstruction exercise.\u201d This helps investigators compare his story with forensic evidence and gather more details about how the murders happened. Officials are confident that additional arrests will follow as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The arrest has brought some relief to the community, but many residents remain anxious. \u201cWe are happy at least one suspect has been caught, but we want full justice for Mzee Mutanga and his wife,\u201d said a local resident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uganda Police have promised to pursue the case to its full conclusion. They emphasized that the murder of David and Deborah Mutanga will not go unpunished and that every lead will be followed until justice is served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
