According to a police report seen by K24 Digital, Suleiman Mayanja who entered the country last month through the Busia border point, was on the evening of Monday, October 5 busted by detectives at the Nyali Cinemax, where he was hiding.
Mayanja, had sent a runner to collect his belongings from the room which he had booked on September 30, when detectives pounced on him.
Unbeknownst to the runner who is a cab driver, undercover cops had laid an ambush in the apartment.
He was immediately seized and after a few minutes of interrogation, whisked to a waiting police vehicle that sped towards the suspect’s hideout.
The Nyali based detectives have established that the suspect who came into the country on September 1 and the deceased were not known to each other previously.
They had met a day before at a popular joint, where they made merry and imbibed a few drinks. Yesterday’s meeting was their second.
