A team of forensic experts from the Uganda Police Force have linked the fingerprints of Charles Olimu, alias Sipapa, to 12 other scenes of crime conducted around the Kampala Metropolitan Area.
The crimes according to Police Spokesperson Fred Enanga, date back from 2014 to date, mostly in the areas of Bugolobi, Kampala City, Kira Road, Jinja Road, Kiwatule, Ntinda, Kyanja, Jomayi.
Sipapa, now a robbery suspect, was last week charged with aggravated robbery and remanded to Luzira Prison together with his wife.
“Following the fingerprints and DNA samples which were lifted from Charles Olimu Sipapa, we are linking him to 12 other scenes of the crime of burglary and theft.
Our directorate of CID in close coordination with the directorate of forensics has now established 12 other cases that are linked to Sipapa. His DNA and fingerprints were scientifically matched with 12 other scenes, implying he was a perpetrator at the scene of all the criminal incidents in Kampala,” Enanga said.
The task teams are arranging to interrogate him on the string of alleged burglaries and theft.
