ፍንዳታውን አድርሰዋል የተባሉት አጥፍቶ ጠፊዎች ምስል

የዩጋንዳ ፖሊስ ፍንዳታውን አስመልክቶ በሰጠው መግለጫ ጥቃቶቹ በሁለት አጥፍቶ ጠፊዎች መከናወናቸውን አስታውቆ፤ በጥርጣሬ የተያዙት ኢትዮጵያዊያን መለቀቃቸውን አረጋግጧል።

የፖሊሱ አዛዥ ካሌ ካይ-ሁራ ለጋዜጠኞች ሲናገሩ በፍንዳታው ከተሰበሰቡት አስከሬኖች መካከል የሁለቱን ሬሳ ፈልጎ የመጣ ሰው አልተገኘም። የሁለቱን ሰዎች ማንነት የሚያሳዩ ምስሎችንም ፖሊስ አሳይቷል።

በአለም አቀፍ የወንጀለኛ አዳኝ ፓሊስ ኢንተር-ፖል ድረ ገጽ የሚገኙት እንደገና የተሰሩ ምስሎች የአጥፍቶ ጠፊዎቹን ማንነት ከሞላ ጎደል እንደሚያሳዩም ተጠቁሟል። አንደኛው ሰው ሶማሊያን ጨምሮ ከአፍሪካ ቀንድ ሰዎች የፊት ምስል ጋር የሚቀራረብ የቆዳ ቀለም ያለው ሰው ሲሆን፤ ሌላኛው ሰፋ ያለ ፊትና ጥቁር የቆዳ ቀለም ያለው ነው።

የፖሊሱ አዛዥ ካሌ ካይሁራ እነዚህ ሰዎች የአጥፍቶ ጠፊዎች መሆናቸውን በእርግጠኝነት ይናገራሉ።

“እነዚሁ ሁለት አስከሬኖች፤ ከሌሎቹ ሬሳዎች በተለየ መልኩ፤ መጥቶ ስጡን ያለ ሰው የለም። አሁን አንድ ሳምንት ሆኗል። ሁሉም አስከሬኖች በዘመድ ተለይተው ርክክብ ተደርጓል። እነዚህን የጠየቀ የለም፤ ይሄ ደግሞ አጋጣሚ ሊሆን አይችልም፣” ብለዋል። Read the rest of this entry »
