Police say a 19-year-old German teenager had sought motorcycle services from the suspect, to ride from a bar in Kololo to her residence in Buziga when he instead took an opposite route.
His route would lead him to a bushy area in Kawanda, Kawempe where he allegedly abused his passenger by having canal knowledge with her and also robbing her of 1200 USD.
Amidst the scuffle however, the victim noted the motorcycle registration number as UDR 472B which police used to trace, identify and apprehend the suspect.
According to police, the suspect told them that he always had sexual fantasies and desire of having canal knowledge with female whites and saw this as a God sent opportunity.
