Police in Budaka District are investigating a suspected mob killing in which a 50-year-old private security guard was beaten to death after allegedly being found with another man suspected of practising witchcraft.
The deceased, identified as Tawuti Ibrahim, was a security guard at St Emmanuel Kamuge Primary School and a resident of Kamuge Village in Kibuku District.
According to ASP Wilfred Kyempasa, Bukedi North Police spokesperson, the incident occurred at around 5:17am on November 7, 2026, in Natoto Village, Budaka District.
Police said Ibrahim had reportedly been approached by a man identified only as Ronny, who asked him to accompany him to Kameruka Sub-county for an alleged witchcraft ritual.
At around 4am, unidentified people reportedly surrounded the two men and accused them of being thieves. Ronny fled on foot, leaving Ibrahim behind, where the mob allegedly attacked him with stones, hitting him on the head.
Ibrahim was still alive when police arrived but died upon reaching Budaka Health Centre IV.
Police recovered a motorcycle allegedly used by the two men and a brown goat with white spots. Investigations are ongoing.
