Police have arrested the prime suspect in the assault that eventually killed popular musician, Moses Ssekibogo alias Mowzey Radio. The suspect identified as Godfrey Wamala was arrested in Kyengera, outside Kampala city, by Police in Katwe.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police which has been searching for Mowzey Radio’s killer, the 28-year-old suspect revealed that there had been some disagreements between the deceased and other parties regarding money and booze.
This, Wamala said was what sparked off anger and actions suspected to have ended the life of the musician.
Police say they are doing everything in their power to ensure justice prevails.
“Death cheated us off our brother and friend. Losing a young talented musician to reckless individuals is a matter we just can’t sit and watch. We are already preparing all the necessary files and paper work and shall submit to courts of law,” said Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander CP. Frank Mwesigwa.
Singer Radio died on two days at Case Hospital in Kampala, a week after he was admitted following head injuries sustained during a reported brawl at De Bar in Entebbe. He underwent three operations and was placed in Intensive Care but later passed on.
The singer’s death prompted appeals towards government especially by those in the entertainment fraternity asking that authorities arrest those responsible for Radio’s death and for them to be prosecuted.
Police has also come under fire for its failure to resolve the mystery surrounding the previous deaths of other musicians; AK47, Master Blaster and most recently, Danz Kumapeesa who all died under mysterious circumstances.
