Lwengo police are holding
six suspects accused of lynching a man for cautioning them against partying during curfew time. The suspects
ganged up against Elias Kiweewa, a resident of the Central zone in
Kyazanga town Council when he approached
on Sunday night while partying with loud music.
The more than 20 revellers
first insulted Kiweewa before they clobbered him with clubs. Eyewitnesses
say that the group scattered immediately after
realizing that Kiweewa had breathed his last. Police were called to the scene to retrieve the body, which they later hand over to the deceased’s family
after postmortem.
Muhammad Nsubuga, the Masaka Region Police Spokesperson, has confirmed the
arrests, saying that police picked up the suspects on separate days.
//Cue in: “Police elina abasajja………………
Cue out:………….nebidongo tebikirizibwa.”//
He says that they have
charged the suspects with murder, adding that they will appear in court when
their file is ready. Nsubuga has also warned residents to be vigilant about anonymous letters being circulated by unidentified people in Greater Masaka asking them to send money or else risk being
killed.
