Munyankiko, who is currently held at Rusororo Police station, is alleged to have seriously injured Nzabandora Samuel 21, in the head with a machete.
According to Police investigations, Munyankiko, who is a guardian at a cattle farm in Ndera, attacked Nzabandora with a machete, apparently accusing him of stealing grass in their farm.
The incident took place on Wednesday night at about 9:30pm. The victim, who is alleged to have been stealing grass, was taken to Kibagabaga hospital for treatment.
Supt Albert N. Gakara, Police Spokesperson-Central Region, condemned the act, adding that “it’s against the law.”
He called upon the community to avoid taking matters into their own hands “as the principle of law stipulates that no one can render justice for himself.”
