The victim of the robbery has been identified as Bonane Javira, a 35-year-old male who worked as a businessman and resided in Kalonga Trading Centre, Kalonga Sub County, Mubende District.

SP Racheal Kawala the PRO for Police in the Wamala region says robbery transpired between 02:00 AM to 03:00 AM at the residence of Bonani Javira.

She added that the subsequent mob-related murder took place between 06:30 AM and 08:00 AM in Bwakago and Bukongo villages in Kyabadoma Parish, Kalonga Sub County.

According to to Police mouth piece, the deceased individuals have been identified by their nicknames as Murefu (a resident of Nsangi), Ndagamuntu (a resident of Salama Road), and Kabode (a resident of Nsangi).

The reported incident alleges that on October 4, 2023, at approximately 02:30 AM, Bunani Janvier, also known as “Fish,” was assaulted by unknown robbers armed with pangas.

They attacked him, demanding money. In response, Bonani raised an alarm, prompting neighbors to intervene. The robbers managed to escape with various items, including 6 million shillings, agent lines, two smartphones, and a PVR for CCTV cameras.

Civilians pursued the suspects until 06:00 AM. They formed groups, intercepting and fatally assaulting two suspects in Bwakago village and another two in Bukongo.
