On October 27, 2026, Uganda's General Muhoozi Kainerugaba announced that security agencies had apprehended Mujurizi Moses, a notorious serial killer. According to Gen Kainerugaba, Mujurizi confessed to killing and consuming 38 people between 2010 and 2025 in the districts of Masaka, Ibanda, and Kazo. The General expressed satisfaction with the operation, describing Mujurizi as the most ruthless serial killer in Uganda's history.
Gen Kainerugaba revealed that Mujurizi's modus operandi involved targeting families, killing them using machetes, and then consuming their bodies. The serial killer allegedly lured his victims by promising them love before attacking and killing them. Authorities believe Mujurizi was responsible for several gruesome murders, including the killing of Steven Mugambe, a Pentecostal pastor, and his congregation.
Mujurizi Moses has been in and out of detention several times, but managed to escape or was released under unclear circumstances. Following his latest capture, authorities claim to have gathered concrete evidence from his residence, linking him to the heinous crimes. Investigations are ongoing to determine if there are any connections between Mujurizi's crimes and other unexplained deaths in the region.
Gen Kainerugaba assured the public that Mujurizi would face trial and, if found guilty, would be sentenced to death. The Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) and other security agencies vowed to crack down on other serial killers operating in the country. Authorities urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
According to reports, Mujurizi's capture was a result of a collaborative effort between Uganda's security agencies. The operation was carried out after months of intelligence gathering and surveillance. The serial killer's arrest has brought relief to the families of his victims and the general public.
The Ugandan military and police are working together to gather more evidence against Mujurizi. The case is expected to draw significant public attention due to its gruesome nature. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information about Mujurizi's crimes to come forward.
