“According to the fingerprints and DNA samples we were left with from Charles Olimu (Sipapa), we are linking him to 12 other scenes of crime of burglary and theft,” said Enanga.
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 the 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.
