The Masaka High Court has sentenced Makumbi Moses and Kabuye Dennis to life imprisonment for the ritual murder of one-year-old Mirembe Percy.
Justice Victoria Nakintu Nkwanga Katamba ruled that on the 23rd of October 2017, Kabuye Dennis, under the guise of a family member, lured young Mirembe Percy away from her home with the promise of a sweet treat.
Eyewitnesses later spotted Kabuye with the child and subsequently observed him handing her over to Makumbi Moses, a known witch doctor in the community.
A search was launched for the missing child, ultimately leading to the discovery of her remains in a nearby forest with signs of mutilation, indicating a horrific death.
The court, upon thorough examination of the evidence, convicted both Kabuye Dennis and Makumbi Moses of murder.
