Stephen Nuwangira, the Soroti District Internal Security Officer- DISO is on remand for allegedly shooting to death an engineer working with Access Solar in Opuyo- Soroti.
Nuwangira appeared Friday before the Soroti Grade One Magistrate, Edmund Okiror Okwi who remanded him until January 6, 2023, for shooting Cedric Kayiwa on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, along Soroti- Mbale highway.
Okiror didn't allow Nuwangira to plead to the charges since the Grade One magistrate's Court
lacks jurisdiction to hear the murder cases. Murder cases are triable by High
Court.
Information from the Police indicates that Nuwangira and the deceased had a quarrel along the road that triggered the fight. The Regional
Police Commander, Moses Mwanga, says the suspect and victim collided with
motorcycles on the road and they picked a quarrel, which prompted the DISO who was armed to shoot the deceased.
He says that Police investigations into the matter are still ongoing but the suspect was sent to Court based on preliminary findings.
