Police have launched a manhunt for a suspect accused of deliberately using a vehicle to ram into a motorcycle carrying his former girlfriend and her cousin in Kyengera.
The incident occurred in the early hours of June 7 after the victims had left a local entertainment venue.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect allegedly pursued the motorcycle before intentionally crashing into it, causing the riders to fall.
Witnesses further claim that after the collision, the suspect attempted to reverse the vehicle towards the victims before fleeing the scene when residents raised an alarm.
The abandoned vehicle was later recovered at a guesthouse in Kyengera and has since been impounded as evidence.
Owoyesigyire said both victims sustained injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.
He noted that the case is being investigated as suspected attempted murder rather than a road traffic accident, given the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Police have appealed to anyone with information that could aid the investigation or lead to the suspect’s arrest to come forward.
