Police in Namisindwa are hunting for four people suspected to have attacked a money lender, cut him and went away with his 10 million shillings.


Rogers Taitika the Elgon region police spokesperson says the group attacked John Luwegele’s home and in Magale town council.

 

Taitika says the group hit the door forcing it to open and thereafter demanded for money, threatening to kill him if failed. The group then cut Luwegele’s hand forcing his wife to hand over 10 million shillings. The thugs then went away.

 

Taitika says that despite using a police tracking dog, the suspects could not be located. He however says that they are still hunting for them and once arrested, they face charges of aggravated robbery.
