Gerald Byiringiro 34, and Emmanuel Mugisha 47, who are seen tying and beating two minors in a viral video have been arrested.
Byiringiro and Mugisha are in the coolers of Kisoro police after they were successfully tracked from their residence at Gakoro cell, Bunagana town council, in Kisoro district.
Assistant Superintendent of Police -ASP Elly Mate, the Kigezi regional police spokesperson, said the duo was arrested by Assistant Inspector of Police -AIP Ivan Baguma and they are being accused of torturing juveniles Fred Manishimwe 11 and Allan.
ASP Mate said although the video has made rounds this week, the incident happened last in November at Gakoro cell. The minors according to police investigations were torture because they were allegedly found breaking into the house of Sylvia Nyirabagenyi.
In the viral video, Byiringiro and Mugisha are seen tying the boys with white sisal ropes. They later cast down the two boys and subject them to serious beating which police have termed as torture.
