Two men suspected to have been behind the kidnap of Kimberly Sue and her driver, Jean Paul Mirenge, in Queen Elizabeth Natioanl Park have Monday been arrested.
According to reports, the suspects are identified as Akimu Kiniga and Kwarisiima, all residents of Kihihi town in Western Uganda.
They were flown in a military chopper to Kampala for interrogation.
An online publication, Command1 Post, earlier Monday reported that the pair smuggles, conducts illegal ivory dealings, sells and buys dried fish from Lake Kyoga and smuggles it to DRC.
Kihihi is a town center in Kanungu District which borders with Queen Elizabeth Park where Kimberly and her tour guide were abducted.
Reports further suggest that the suspected captors were arrested by a joint security team of police and UPDF commandos who camped in the area since last week hunting for four gunmen who on April 2, abducted the tourists.
The abductees were Sunday freed on grounds that a ransom of $500000 had been paid by the American’s family.
This website however, couldn’t verify the fresh reports as no security official was available for a comment on Monday night.
