The bodies of the two were turned over for additional administration on November 1, 2023.
Enanga emphasized that the UK teams were informed of all Ugandan legal formalities, lines of inquiry, conclusions, and timings of occurrences that matched GPS phone evidence.
During the presser, he gave assurances to Ugandans and other tourists that, since the tragic tragedy, security at all tourist sites in the nation has significantly improved.
He added that the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are working together to evaluate the exhibits that were discovered with the rebel commander who was detained last week by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).
Enanga mentioned that the exhibitions will be used in further investigations.
Suspect arrested
In his statement, the President of Uganda (Rtd) Gen. President Yoweri Museveni revealed that one of the killers of the tourists and their Ugandan driver, by the name of Njovu, had been apprehended while injured.
He added that of the 10 individuals who killed the Lhubiriha students, burned the onion truck, and attempted to attack the parked trucks on the Congo-Kashindi side, three of them were terrorists.
“The remaining seven are still on the run, but we shall get them. Njovu was their commander. The Njovu group was attacked by the UPDF marine boat on Lake Edward. They did not fully utilize their success after attacking the boat of terrorists. Otherwise, all the terrorists would have been captured,” the president noted.
Dr. Chris Baryomunsi, the Minister of ICT and National Guidance, informed the media that the Cabinet had approved a resolution to rename a road in the nation in honor of South African wife Emmaretia Celia Geyer and British citizen David Jim Barlow, who died along with their Ugandan driver, Alyai.
The president went on to reveal that even those suspected of killing the State Prosecutor Joan Kagezi had been taken into custody.
The suspects include: Nasur Abdalla, Dan Kissekka, John Kibuuka, and John Masajjage.
On March 15, 2015, Kagezi was brutally killed by gunmen in Kiwatule, a suburb of Kampala, as she and her kids were stopping over in a car to buy raw food. Two motorcycles were being used by the assassins.
Security agencies, including the police, Internal Security Agencies (ISO), Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), and External Security Organisation (ESO), among others, had been grappling with tracking the real killers to bring them to justice.
