LUWERO — Police and other security agencies have been urged to intensify efforts to trace and arrest **Ssekyanzi Martin**, who is suspected of killing his stepson, **Mayiga Jeremiah**, following an alleged dispute involving **Shs500** in Luwero District.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, August 28, 2026, at Kabukunga in Kamila Village, Luwero District.
Details surrounding the circumstances that led to the child’s death remain under investigation. However, family members allege that a dispute over Shs500 preceded the incident in which Mayiga was allegedly killed.
The family has called for a coordinated response from the relevant security agencies to ensure that the suspect is arrested and investigated in accordance with the law.
Following the incident, the deceased’s body was reportedly taken to **Mulago** for a postmortem examination before being returned to Luwero for burial.
The postmortem examination is expected to help investigators establish the exact cause of death and provide evidence that may assist authorities in their investigations.
#Suspect reportedly on the run
Family members said the suspect had fled and was still at large.
They appealed to members of the public who may have information about his whereabouts to report it to the nearest police station or other security authorities.
The family said it wanted justice for Mayiga and called on investigators to ensure that those responsible, if found culpable, are brought before the courts.
Authorities had not publicly released further details about the alleged incident at the time of reporting, including the circumstances surrounding the reported Shs500 dispute.
The case remains a matter for investigation, and the suspect should be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty by a competent court of law.
#Call for justice
The death has left the family seeking answers and calling for swift action by security agencies.
Cases involving violence against children continue to raise concern among communities, with families and local leaders frequently calling for stronger protection of children and prompt investigations whenever allegations of abuse or violence arise.
The family has appealed to anyone with credible information about the whereabouts of the suspect to share it directly with the police to assist ongoing investigations.
Police are expected to provide further information as investigations progress.
