I cannot reveal the identity of the woman, but the public knows about this rivalry,\u201d he said yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>However, Mr Kizito denies this has anything to do with love gone sour, insisting it is about the business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have experienced a history of witch-hunting by that man who is a business competitor because we all deal in the hardware business. He at one time paid off the landlord to deny me space for the shop&#8230; But I constructed my own building for the business,\u201d he said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>It is alleged that the suspects, currently in police custody, conspired to kill Mr Kizito, with the prime suspect (names withheld) allegedly hiring the services of a soldier attached to Makindye Military Barracks in Kampala to arrange the hit. Police records say Shs13 million was the asking fee for the killing, while other accounts say Shs33 million was agreed.<\/p>\n<p><b>What police say<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Savannah Regional Police spokesperson Sam Twineamazima on Saturday revealed that the suspects were detained on July 12 after a tip-off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prime suspect gave authority to the other suspect to look for killers. The latter went to Makindye Barracks where he got in touch with one Afande Lukwago, who connected him to RA 261250 Private Abdul Atiti, a UPDF soldier attached to 16 Battalion Makindye to do the mission,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, Pte Atiti later decided to warn Mr Kizito about the plot. The intended victim notified Luweero District Police Commander Living Twezagye who arranged for crime intelligence officers to lay a trap, leading to the arrests.<\/p>\n<p>In March, a Mr Friday Musoke of Bombo, Luweero was arrested with his suspected mistress on suspicion of conspiracy to murder his wife. The two allegedly tried to bribe a medical doctor in Bombo to execute the crime. Charges have been filed at Luweero Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
