A 25-year-old man on Monday afternoon handed himself over to Kabarole district Police after he allegedly murdered his brother.

Moses Karatunga, a resident of Kinyangende village, Nyabuswa Parish in Mugusu sub-county cut his brother Charles Mutegeki to death after he accused him of killing his pig.

Vincent Twesigye, the Rwenzori Regional Police spokesperson told the New Vision that after Karatunga murdered his brother, he immediately handed himself over to police.

“The suspect Karatunga reported himself at Mugusu Police Post with a panga that he used to cut his brother to death,” Twesigye said.

“Karatunga narrated to the police officers that the deceased had killed his pig, so with a lot of anger, he decided to get a panga and cut him to death,” Twesigye said.

 Twesigye said that the suspect was immediately arrested.

“Karatunga was arrested and forwarded to Fort Portal North Central Police Station together with the exhibit (Panga) as a team of other police officers from Mugusu Police Post proceeded to the scene of the crime for further investigation,” Twesigye said.

Twesigye warned the general public against taking the law into their hands.
