Patrick Agaba aka Pato, the prime suspect in murder of Susan Magara is not in hands of Ugandan authorities contrary to earlier reports.
According to Uganda Radio Network, the Kampala Metropolitan Criminal Investigations Commander, Johnson Olal and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mark Odong last evening returned empty handed following an unforeseen injunction from South African court.
The injunction was issued on grounds that court also had to first attend to an application filed by Agaba’s lawyers who challenged his repatriation. However, one of the official is confident that Agaba will be repatriated as he revealed; “I’m sure we will get him but our guys had to return as the technicalities are being sorted. Those are just technicalities.”
Magara, an accountant, was kidnapped on February 7 as she was driving to her home in Lungujja. Her killers first cut off two of her fingers and sent to family as they asked for over a billion ransom money of which its reported that the family partly paid Shs700m.
