Did Tadeo Sempa pay gangsters to kill his father?
According to the police, Sempa paid Lule, a resident of Nakwero Village in Mukono district, 3 million shillings (KSh 108,300) to carry out the attack.
“After committing the crime, the suspects tried to flee the scene, but the residents felt suspicious and raised the alarm,” Skin said.
In addition, Kigozi added that Lule was the one who carried out the attack, seriously injuring the old man.
Before the police arrived at the scene, residents arrested Sempa, restrained him and assaulted him, which left him with serious injuries.
He allegedly solved the crime, noting that his accomplice had fled in a boda-boda.
“Residents stopped the motorcycle that was transporting Lule at a nearby station. The motorcycle riders turned towards the suspect, raised the alarm and finally arrested him,” Kigozi said in a Daily Monitor report.
Did Sempa hire a bomber to kill his father?
During the interview, Lule admitted that he had been hired by Sempa to kill Joseph.
Sempa was taken to hospital under police custody following the injuries he sustained from the mob attack, while Lule was arrested and detained.
While examining the old man’s body, crime scene officers found large scissors in his stomach and badly cut hands.
The police quickly thanked the measures taken by residents and motorcyclists in preventing the suspects from running away.
“This event shows how community awareness and cooperation with security agencies can have an important role in fighting crime,” the police said.
They added that they remind motorcyclists not to knowingly transport suspects to secret residences.
Kigozi shared that the investigation is ongoing, and evidence is being collected to facilitate official charges.
