Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Machete wielding criminals Thursday night murdered a 47-year-old man as unidentified criminals continued to wreak havoc in Masaka Sub-region.<\/p>\n

The deceased who has been identified by authorities as Madi Mulindwa was killed at his new house which was still under construction at Kisaaka Village, Kimaanya \u2013Kabonera Division, Masaka City at the border of Masaka and districts of Lwengo and Bukomansimbi.<\/p>\n

A neighbour to the deceased, Mr Robert Mukasa, said: “The killers attacked Kisaaka at around 10:30pm. He was hacked to death before they attacked another person who survived.”<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of our people are running away to other districts because the situation worsens every day and we don\u2019t see the presence of security officers in our areas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ssemanda\u2019s murder confirmed Friday by Police comes in a week that has seen seven people brutally killed in a harrowing manner, an official Daily Monitor tally shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got information at around 11pm and rushed at the scene and the investigations are underway,\u201d Southern Region Police spokesperson, Mr Muhammad Nsubuga said.<\/p>\n

On the night, thugs also attacked Mr Jimmy Ssemanda, 24, who was headed for Kisaaka trading center.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was carrying a solar battery on my shoulder from my father\u2019s place to Kisaaka trading center where I sleep at around 10 pm and the thugs came from behind hitting me with a big stick,\u201d Ssemanda who is nursing wounds at Masaka Regional Referral Hospital told Daily Monitor, August 27.<\/p>\n

The motive of the assailants remains unknown. PHOTO\/GERTRUDE MUTYABA<\/p>\n

Ssemanda said the stick hit the battery, splitting it into pieces and that\u2019s how he survived with injuries on the head.<\/p>\n

However, by Friday morning, he was in stable condition as authorities covened a joint security press briefing.<\/p>\n

Greater Masaka, Regional police commander, Paul Nkore told journalists at Lions Primary School in the city that \u2018\u201838 suspects are in their [Police] custody\u2019\u2019 as security forces urge vigilance.<\/p>\n
