No one has the right to inflict harm or take another person&#8217;s life, regardless of the suspicion. We urge the community to always report suspected criminals to the nearest police station. Justice must be served through the courts, not through the streets,&#8221; SP Tumushime stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police have since launched a manhunt for the perpetrators involved in the fatal assault and are appealing to anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KABALE &#8211; The
