The suspects are currently detained at Rukiga Central Police Station pending investigations since the incident occurred yesterday at around 2:00 PM according to Elly Maate the Kigezi Region Police Spokesperson.

He observed Kibahigire’s workers armed with pangas and dogs injuring two cows.The herdsman, sensing danger, fled with a colleague.
Although the herdsman couldn’t identify the suspects, the police responded promptly, arresting four individuals after visiting and processing the scene.
