They are being detained at Kira Road Police station.
The station head, Alex Asiimwe, said Kakuru and Taremwa were killed by a mob in Kisaasi, a Kampala suburb.
“There could be more arrests since many people participated in the mob justice,†Asiimwe said.
Kakuru and Taremwa were killed as they were returning home after a party hosted by their sister, Collins Nuwagaba, at a nearby school. Their bodies were burnt by a crowd that thought that they were thieves.
