A ruthless man is on the run for attacking a charcoal seller in Kyankwanzi, leaving her badly injured and robbed of an unspecified sum of money.
The incident occurred around midnight on 14 March 2023 at Ranch Number 5. Maganda Isaac is the suspect.
Lameck Kigozi, the Wamala Region Police Spokesman says the victim had hired workers to burn charcoal after paying Maganda for forest trees. When she went to pay her workers, she told Maganda she was coming. But the broker allegedly lured her into the forest and attacked her, cutting her severely and taking the money before fleeing.
A Good Samaritan rescued the woman and rushed her to Hoima Hospital, where she is receiving urgent care. Police confirmed that Maganda has a criminal record and is on bail for goat theft.
Kigozi says a report was filed at Bukwiri Police Station, and a manhunt is underway. Police are appealing to anyone in Kyankwanzi Subcounty and the wider district with information about Maganda’s whereabouts to report immediately.
