After the gruesome murder, Police headquarters deployed a team of Flying Squad Officers to track the suspects but they have since failed to apprehend any of the suspects, which prompted governement to stake a Shs1M for anyone who helps detectives to arrest the killers.
Christopher Barugahare, the Regional Police Commander West Nile, said that the offer will cease to be valid after the end of next month.
However, this is the first time police in W. Nile is offering a motivating factor to lure locals to provide information on criminal gangs terrorizing people in the region.
The police have in the past offered money to the public to help them arrest suspects in high porfile murders in vain.
