Detectives Arrest TWO Kenyans In Uganda For Killing Motorcycle Rider
Two Kenyans wanted over the murder of a boda boda rider and the theft of his motorcycle in Busia County have been arrested in Uganda after days of a cross-border manhunt.
According to a police report, the two were arrested by Ugandan officers after they allegedly fled into the neighbouring country after committing the murder in Butula Constituency.
The Butula Constituency intelligence department revealed that the suspects are residents of the area, with one of them already being wanted by police over other criminal activities.
The police say the suspects allegedly assaulted the boda boda rider to death in Bujumba sub-location before making away with his motorcycle into Uganda.
Investigations further revealed that after crossing into Uganda, the suspects allegedly attacked another boda boda rider, leaving him with serious injuries before stealing his motorcycle and fleeing.

Police also recovered the motorcycle that had been stolen from the Kenyan rider, while efforts are ongoing to trace the second motorcycle allegedly stolen from the Ugandan victim.
The suspects are expected to first face criminal charges in Uganda before being handed over to Kenyan authorities to answer to additional charges linked to the murder and motorcycle theft committed in Busia County.
The duo’s arrest comes amid a worrying rise in violent boda boda robberies and motorcycle theft cases across the country.
