Ugandan police have arrested Mujurizi Moses, who is accused of being a serial killer and cannibal responsible for the deaths of 38 people. Multiple outlets report that officials publicly welcomed the arrest and that Ugandan authorities describe the case as one of the country’s worst such crimes.

The accounts say the suspected killings occurred over about 15 years, from 2010 to 2025. One report adds that investigators allege he targeted families by breaking into homes and attacking victims with a machete. Coverage also emphasizes the intended legal outcome, with officials vowing execution.

Outlets differ mainly in emphasis and wording, including whether they foreground the cannibalism aspect, the execution pledge, or the alleged method and pattern of attacks. Two reports come from the same news outlet and largely mirror each other, while other outlets provide slightly different details about the alleged investigation and modus operandi.
