Sixty-year-old Anent Nampijja Muwangaza, a resident of Kasaali village Bisanje Parish, Kabonera division in Masaka is the latest victim of the brutal killings in the city.
Unknown assailants butchered the deceased around 7:50 pm last evening as the assailants waylaid Nampijja as she was stepping out of the kitchen to enter her house.
Nampijja’s death brings to five, the number of people killed since Monday this week and also becomes the 19th victim in the spate of unexplained killings in the region in just two months.
Isa Bakabulindi, a friend of the deceased, says that Nampijja was alone at home when she was attacked.
Bakabulindi says that they are worried about the attacks since the actual motive of the assailants is unknown because they do not take money or property from their victims.
Frank Bwekumbule, the Bisanje Parish Vice-Chairperson and friend to the deceased, says that nothing was taken from her, which left them puzzled.
Muhammad Nsubuga, the Masaka Regional Police spokesperson, says police have commenced investigations into the latest murder and hunt down the killers.
