The discovery of the bodies shocked people. The bodies were found in a banana plantation owned by a medical assistant, Wilson Karaira, a resident of Kajara cell in Kanungu district. Kanungu is the place where a man called Joseph Kibwetere burnt live over 1000 people in 2000.

The police have arrested Karaira’s wife, Gorret Kabaza, and her two sons Philip Asiimwe and Francis Monday in connection with the robberies and murders. Other suspects are on the run.

Eye witnesses told the media that some of the bodies exhumed had been stripped naked and their genitals chopped off. Traditionalists tell the media that it seems the people behind the murder chopped off the genitors and put them in shrines to stop the spirits from attacking them.

The police say that the owners of the land to disguise the graves planted banana plantations on them. To a non member of the family, the graves were hard to be seen.

The bodies discovered were decomposed and could not easily be identified. The police have told the media that the members of this family according to preliminary investigations would ambush bicycle riders, loaded businessmen and women, motorcycle riders and sometimes they would invite rich people in their homes, murder them and take the money they might have moved with.
