Police is holding three women alleged to have participated in finishing off the life of a Finnish businessman Teräsvuori Tuomas Juha Petteri about two weeks ago. 

The three suspects; Faridah Nakaye, Carol Alinda and Fatima Kabagambe, were arrested from different parts of Kampala following information linking them to the death of the businessman, who, had reportedly travelled to Uganda to meet the head of Internal Security Organisation Col Fred Bagyenda.

The inspector general of police (IGP) Kale Kayihura says three people have so far been arrested after CCTV footage showed one of them; Faridah Nakaye, leaving the hotel room at 10pm on the fateful night and returning a few hours later with a polythene bag believed to contain drugs.

A toxicology report released earlier indicates that the deceased was killed by a concoction of narcotics, pesticides and herbicides.

Nakaye, 27, was initially arrested on February 7, after the same footage showed her leaving the hotel room the morning of the reported death. She was released on police bond and rearrested two days later, as she tried to flee the country through Entebbe International Airport.

She is alleged to have been the mastermind of a shoddy weapons deal that brought the Finnish national to Uganda. Petteri is believed to have come to Uganda after he was told that there was a deal for the government of Uganda to buy weapons from his company.

Now detained at Nalufenya, Nakaye told police that Petteri insinuated to her that he would love to market and do business with the government of Uganda and it was upon this background that she contacted a friend of hers Carol Alinda with the deal.

Alinda is also implicated by relatives of the deceased who were informed that he was going to meet highly-placed people in the Ugandan government through two fixers; Carol and another only identified as Musa.

A source who is privy to the ongoing investigations told URN that it was Alinda who contacted Apollo Kyabagye; an operative attached to the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) and presented to him details of the deal.

Kyabagye was arrested earlier on suspicion that he forged the invitation letter that the businessmen used to come to Uganda.

Nakaye, the key suspect, also named Fatima Kabagambe as the person who sold her cocaine on the fateful day. She had reportedly been sent out by Petteri to buy him some drugs for personal use.

It still remains unknown and unexplained by the suspects how the pesticides and herbicides which are believed to have ended the life of the deceased were consumed.
