The lions were found dead on Friday evening, in Ishasha sector, Kihihi Sub County, Kanungu district. Their heads, feet, tails, hearts and livers were cut off and taken. Preliminary investigations attribute the death to suspected poisoning after eight vultures that fed on carcasses of the lions were also found dead.

A reliable source intimated to Voice of Muhabura that the 4 were arrested last night after a tip-off and the security followed the clues to where the lion’s heads were hanged up in a tree and recovered them.


Later on, in a statement, UWA confirmed the arrest.

They identified the suspects now in custody as Ampurira Brian 26, Tumuhire Vincent 49, Aliyo Robert 40, and Miliango Davi 68.

The suspects later took the security team to a location where 3 heads of lions were found hidden in a tree and the fourth one was buried with 15 legs under the same tree. The suspects said they dropped one leg in the park, UWA said in a statement.

Three bottles containing chemicals commonly known as Furadan and a two-liter jerry can of lion fat oil were recovered in a banana plantation. Two spears, one panga, and one hunting net were found hidden in a garden at the home of Tumuhire Vincent.

On Monday, UWA announced a shilling 10 million bounty to anybody who can reveal information that will lead to the arrest of the people behind the killing of six lions.
