Who is killing women in Entebbe?

"Another woman raped, murdered," has been become the official headline for most media stations in Uganda. Many social media channels have also been awash with bad news of murders of young women in Wakiso district, mainly Entebbe.  

In only three months, 19 women have killed in Entebbe and the last victim's body was found in Nansana. Today the number has reached 20 but unfortunately little has been done about to stop the vice from escalating. 
This is a violation of not only women's rights but also human rights. Why is the public blaming only female legislators for not doing something? This is everyone's problem and the public needs to task government to give it protection.

According to a story published in the Daily Monitor, five days ago the crime forced Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura and Security Minister Henry Tumukunde, to camp in the area but this did not stop the vice.
Considering the fact the State House is located in Entebbe and it is supposedly known to be the most secure area, who is this person who doesn't fear security and goes a head to kill  people?

According to a Daily Monitor story, "The latest information from the police, according to the Force’s spokesperson, Mr Asan Kasingye, is that 12 of the victims have been classified as cases of sexual assault, four cases of domestic violence, one was killed by two brothers in what the police have classified as a revenge killing, and the rest seemed to be ritual murders."

The questions remain, who is killing young women, why are they targeting women? is it because they are the weaker sex? and why are they sexually assaulted before being killed? is it a way of creating fear? why are the murders concentrated in one area, an area known for its tight security? what can be done to stop the vice? when will the police catch the serial murderer?
