The police in Tororo, with the assistance of the K-9 unit, have arrested Loketo Musa, a resident of Malaba North Cell, Malaba Town Council, in connection to the murder of a woman identified as Rehema, a Kenyan national from Bungoma.
Preliminary investigations reveal that on 08/12/25, at approximately 6:00AM, community members in Malaba North Cell were shocked when they woke up to find the lifeless body of a female, lying in a pool of blood.
K-9 officer “Vegas” was introduced to the scene, where the body was found. The dog picked up a human scent and began tracking, passing through the corridors of several houses for a distance of approximately 100 meters. The trail led the officers to the suspect’s bedroom.
Although the suspect was initially not found at home, he was later traced and arrested. A search was conducted in the presence of the area chairperson, during which bloodstains were discovered inside the suspect’s room and even on the door of his room.
Additionally, quantities of dried marijuana were recovered from the suspect’s room.
Exhibits, including blood samples, were collected.
