Police ‘Fails To Link’ Tortured Kamwenge Mayor To Kaweesi Murder

New details continue to emerge regarding investigations into the murder of former Police Spokesperson, Andrew Felix Kaweesi.

The latest is that investigating officers are yet to make headway in linking Kamwenge Mayor Geoffrey Byamukama to the March 17 murder of three police officers including Assistant Inspector General of police (AIGP) Andrew Felix Kaweesi.

The Mayor whose torture recently led to police criticism, is alleged to have procured the hit men that gunned down the then police spokesperson, his bodyguard Kenneth Erau and driver Godfrey Mambewa in Kulambiro a Kampala suburb.

Local news agency, URN, reports that operatives of the Flying Squad, a special unit of the Uganda Police Force, a week ago interrogated Byamukama for the third time since his arrest on April 5, 2017, almost three weeks after Kaweesi’s shooting.

In all three interrogations, however, Byamukama reportedly denied all allegations levied against him as well as his association to the assassins that murdered Kaweesi and his two handlers.

One of the lead investigators who preferred anonymity says the reason that Byamukama is yet to be charged is because they are yet to identify his motive in killing Kaweesi.

For a murder charge to hold there must be motive aforethought and the suspect must have the means.
