Prostitutes Kasamwa
Police in Geita Region have launched a manhunt for suspects involved in the brutal killings of prostitutes in Kasamwa Township. Regional Police Commander Richard Makanzo confirmed four murders since January, with victims found dumped in forests showing signs of torture before being strangled or stabbed.
Criminal Patterns and Evidence
Forensic analysis indicates the same perpetrators across all crimes. Makanzo revealed: We’ve recovered foreign DNA evidence and are following strong leads
. Mobile phone data places suspects near crime scenes during murders. Victims’ belongings were systematically stolen post-mortem.
Community Response and Safety Measures
Authorities have doubled nighttime patrols and established anonymous tip lines (0715-443322). Social worker Grace Mbowe noted:
Fear has paralyzed sex workers, yet economic desperation forces them into dangerous situations
. Local NGOs now offer safe transport services and self-defense workshops.
