Ugandan suspect arrested over alleged killings and cannibalism spanning 15 years

Ugandan authorities have arrested Mujurizi Moses, who is suspected of killing and eating 38 people over 15 years. The case has prompted renewed investigations into unsolved disappearances and killings, while a senior security official has publicly said Moses should be tried and executed.

Investigators allege that Moses targeted families in attacks across Masaka, Ibanda and Kazo, and that victims included Pentecostal pastor Steven Mugambe. Reports say a police investigation linked 35 deaths in Greater Masaka to similar attacks; Moses also faced murder and human trafficking charges after a woman was killed there in September. Authorities are examining missing-person cases for possible links, and the allegations have not yet been established in court.
