Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Hakim Sibukyu, the father of a girl who was allegedly raped and strangled to death in January says he is slowly losing hope for justice.

Kirabo aged 10 went missing on January 9th and two days later, her body was found dumped in a flat building under construction in Makindye Luwafu zone. She went missing at around midday when she was sent to a shop to buy food spices.

Sibukyu says that his efforts to seek justice have been frustrated. He adds that he has tried to work with investigating officers to track the contacts of people who called demanding for ransom before his daughter’s body was discovered.

“I have tried to work with investigators to track these people who called demanding money when my girl was missing. Unfortunately, police tell me they are in Mutukula and they say the phones keep changing location. It is costly and I am not sure whether the people who killed my daughter will ever be arrested,” Sibukyu said.
