Police in Kamwenge District, western Uganda, have launched a manhunt for Naboth, a Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) range suspected of fatally shooting two women on Saturday, October 26.
The incident occurred around 2 p.m. in Kanyonza II Cell, Lyakahungu Town Council, following a confrontation between the ranger and his girlfriend, Atukwatse Gloria, who managed to escape.
The victims, Juliet Turyahabwa, 40, and a 60-year-old woman identified as Kedrase, were residents of Lyakahungu Town Council. According to eyewitness Bosco Kyakabare, the dispute began when Naboth argued with Atukwatse, a local bar operator.

Police, led by Detective Sergeant Akishuli Robert and SOCO Detective Corporal Badongo Wilson, recovered key forensic evidence at the scene, including one ammunition projectile and five spent cartridges.
In conclusion, authorities are urging the public to provide information that could help capture the armed suspect, still at large.
