KABALE: The High Court in Kabale District has sentenced Arinaitwe Denis, the perpetrator behind the tragic deaths of Kabale University student Naturinda Sarah and Kabale Police station officer Komuhangi Caroline, to 70 years of imprisonment at Ndorwa Government Prison in Kabale District.
Arinaitwe stands accused of the heinous crimes of shooting Officer Komuhangi Caroline at Kabale police barracks and strangling Sarah on the fateful date of 19/03/2023. According to Elly Maate, the Kigezi region Police spokesperson, Denis has been held in Ndorwa Government Prison since the time of his arrest.
The verdict was handed down by Justice Samuel Emokor, the presiding judge at the Kabale High Court Circuit, located at Kikungiri Hill in the Southern Division of Kabale Municipality. Denis opted for a plea bargain, leading to Justice Emokor sentencing him to 35 years for each account, totaling 70 years of incarceration.
Maate strongly denounced the abhorrent acts and emphasized that this ruling must serve as a stern warning to anyone contemplating taking the law into their own hands. He urged couples, whether married or dating, to resolve their disputes amicably rather than resorting to violence.
