According to the father of the victim, his daughter who was hired as a dancer at his concert in Kayunga suddenly disappeared with him on Friday. He claims Bamukisa had contracted other teenage girls to also dance at his concert.

He was reported to police after the suspect attempted to book a room with his victim.

Court didn’t allow Kakaire to plead to the charges on the grounds that her court lacks jurisdiction to hear capital offenses.
