The Police in Entebbe, Wakiso District are holding two people, including the stepfather of a three-year-old boy who was found dead in a building still under construction near his home with stab wounds on his neck.
Simon Onyait is said to have been killed on Wednesday and his body dumped in the building where it was recovered in the evening after a frantic search operation by residents led by his mother.
“It’s alleged that his mother left him with his father, Francis Onyango at his workplace in Nalugala, Katabi town council in Wakiso District as she was also going to work. When she returned from work at around 6pm she didn’t find the boy with his father, ” Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said.
The deputy KMP Spokesperson added that, “She started searching for him in vain. Some residents joined in the search operation, only to find Onyait’s body in an unfinished building in a room where one Kasawuli was sleeping.”

“Onyait’s body was taken to the city mortuary as we investigate to establish the motive for his murder,” ASP Owoyesigyire added.
