Elgon Region Police Spokesman, SP Rogers Taitika has identified the victim as Juliet Wabule.
According to Taitika, Wabule was on her way home from a drinking joint at 10:00pm on Tuesday night, 22nd April, 2025 when she met a group of men who allegedly grabbed and gang raped her and later strangled her to death.
