Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Police has confirmed the body they found off the Kampala Southern Bypass is that of missing cashier, Suzan Magara. They are offering sh100 million to whoever has information that can lead to the arrest of suspects in this murder case.
“We were able to recover the body of Suzan Magara. We recovered the body from Kigo along Entebbe Express highway,” said AIGP Abbas Byakagaba in a press briefing hours after the body was discovered on Tuesday.
“We have the audio of a person speaking but we have not yet identified the person. We appeal to Ugandans who can help us put a face to the voice to come forward. Whoever is able to identify the voice from the phone recordings will be rewarded sh100m.”
The person in the audio is heard saying “Are you hearing me? Go to Entebbe road, after Namasuba, there is a petrol station called Hass near Bata Bata. There is a black Kaveera…….”
Apart from the police audio, another audio was posted on social media indicating negotiations between the family and the suspected kidnappers (below).
Magara, 28, a cashier at the Bwendero Dairy Farmwent missing the night of Feb 7, 2018 near Mengo in Kampala. Magara’s car was found abandoned 100m from her residence. She is daughter of John Fitzgerald Magara, a resident of Regina Estate in Lubowa.
There will be a requiem mass at Mbuya Lady of Africa Catholic Church on Wednesday at 11am, thereafter the body will be taken to Hoima for an overnight vigil before burial on Thursday in Kitoba.
This case is similar to that of Francis Ekalungar, 49, an accountant at Case Hospital in Kampala who disappeared, was killed and his body burnt beyond recognition last month. After Case reported a case of a missing person, his body was discovered in Kajjansi, a city suburb of Kampala.

Requiem mass
VERY sad for the death of this young lady. No one can imagine what the family went through during the time their daughter was missing , living in despair but holding onto the faint hope that maybe she would come back alive, regardless of the state, mental or physical.ONLY for her to turn up dead.
NO doubt that the perpetrators of this crime should be arrested and brought to book.This is the wish , not only of the MAGARA family, but for any family or person who has lost their loved one to any form of death at the hands of or through the actions or inactions of another.
IT is therefore some form of injustice that this murder is being treated as a special case( which it certainly is to the MAGARAS}.
FOR all the women who were killed, for EKALUNGAR and other countless people, how come that the police, which we are only reading has no money to finance some of its most basic of operations, 100m suddenly appears. IS it money from the parents, in which case we would be made to know, because there is no harm and not a crime for a family to offer such a prize in such a case.
IN addition to our police force being accused of having most officers from one region, now you have money being offered because , people will assume, of the region the victim comes from.
Just like JJ ODONG said while responding to KALEKEZI over his remarks that the police was being unfairly accused, the police is not doing itself any service and it is up to them, not only to deliver justice, but for justice to be seen to be done.
Uganda police is non exisitent so why bother
