The president said the criminal killer askari should have not had the luxury to go to prison.

“We must move decisively to deter such heinous and senseless acts of crime, he said as he condoled with slain IHK doctor’s family in Kashari, Mbarara district. He added: “We shall now put out fire with fire.”

He said upon the NRA power take over, some alterations were made in dealing with murder suspects but said parliament should now rethink a decision to enforce death penalty.

“Parliament should look into this legislation, to complete the cycle of work done by a few good elements of police, alongside the army intelligence in apprehending such criminals as this one, who had escaped with the deceased’s property to his village,” he said.

Dr. Catherine Agaba went missing on April 13, 2019 and days later (April 21, 2019), her decomposing body was retrieved from a septic tank in Muyenga, a posh city suburb.

A security guard at her apartment is being treated as a prime suspect in her murder.

Ronald Obangakene was detained at Kabalagala Police Division, paraded before court yesterday and sent to Luzira.

Agaba was laid to rest at her ancestral home yesterday in Mbarara.
