Kampala, (UG): Uganda’s President, H.E. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has revealed that the suspects behind the brutal killing of former state prosecutor Joan Kagezi have finally been arrested.
The arrest of the four suspects comes eight years since Kagezi, the lead prosecutor in the July 2010 bomb suspects’ trial was gunned down in 2015 by unknown assailants as she returned home in Kiwatule, a Kampala suburb.
According to reports then, she had made a stop over to buy raw food with her children in a car when the ruthless assassins sprayed bullets and killed her instantly.
“The suspects in the killing of Joan Kagezi have, finally, been arrested. They are: Kibuuka John, Masajjage John, Kissekka Dan and Nasur Abdalla. They were riding on two motorcycles,” said Mr Museveni in a Sunday statement.
Following the prosecutor’s killing in 2015, the President said for all these years, her killers had never been arrested, and the breakthrough to have them behind bars presents a major landmark in the prosecution of the case.
“I congratulate ISO and CID on the good work. They will soon be produced in court,” the President said in conclusion.
