Police in Kampala are holding one suspect believed to be behind the brutal murder of city Insurance lawyer.

The suspect, Kagiimu Patrick, a resident of Kyebando, Wakiso District allegedly hit the deceased lawyer Suzan Alweny with a blunt object last month at Kiwatule flyover in Kira Municipality.

The deceased was left lying unconscious in a pool of blood and picked up by police officers. She later succumbed to head injuries at the Mulago National Referral hospital on 30th September 2022.

The Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango says the suspect is currently detained at the Central police station in Kampala, awaiting his appearance in court.

Onyango explains that the flying squad unit police busted the suspect from his hideout in Kwatule at one of his friend's homes.

He says Kiwanuka has since confessed to the murder and admitted that his only motive was to steal the phone, and not to kill the lawyer.

Kiwanuka will be charged with murder.
