Kamengo police are holding a witch named Musa Magambo alias Mulangira Musoga for sexually assaulting female siblings at his Masazi shrine in Mpigi district.

The police the incident happened in August 2019 when the pair visited his shrine for traditional cleansing and healing.

However, the suspect instead lured into sex claiming he was inserting traditional medicine in their privates.

“He convinced them, that the act was a form of treatment. The victims, who are 16 and 18 years respectively, are both pregnant for the suspect,” Police spokesman Fred Enanga said Monday.

“The investigators are trying to reconstruct and document the scenes of crime, trace for incriminating evidence and send the file to the DPP. We will do everything within our means to ensure justice prevails in this case.”

“We condemn such acts of would-be-helpers, who betray the trust, given to them by vulnerable victims but instead end up abusing them. We have dispatched our counsellors from the Child and Family division, to try and take the victims through some form of counselling about their condition,” he said.
