The Flying Squad Unit working alongside the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence have arrested Sunday Swaibu Bwambale over the murder of his close friend Robert Kifunga Baguma.
The late Mr. Baguma, who was a renowned lawyer in Bundibugyo district and NRM district registrar, was found dead about a fortnight ago and his body dumped few kilometres from Bundibugyo town.
The late Baguma was buried two days later and Bwambale, a longtime friend was the chairman of the funeral arrangement committee and spoke emotionally about the good and hard times he had had with the deceased.
Because Baguma’s murder was mistaken for the gruesome torture of a plumber in Ggaba who was captured on camera tied and being burnt with molten jerrycans, the Crime Intelligence Director, Brig Chris Damulira and his CMI counterpart Maj. Gen James Birungi, assigned a joint team to probe the incident and arrest the culprits.
Brig Damulira and Maj Gen Birungi demanded for answers for who burnt Njuba in a guest house and who killed Baguma.
The Flying Squad Unit working alongside the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence started looking for any building that has a CCTV camera and by good luck one of the buildings showed Bwambale and Baguma together and as they later moved in a vehicle UBL 885F, then drove up to Centenary Bank.
Bwambale was subjected to intensive interrogation but he kept denying until he reportedly told homicide team that he took charge of Baguma’s burial so that he would not be suspected.
Police Spokesperson, Fred Enanga says Mr. Bwambale who had been tracked up to his home in Rugendabara town council in Kasese district burst into tears as he watched the CCTV clips clearly showing him with Baguma in various spots in Fort Portal town and confessed that he alerted his accomplices that the deacsed had withdrawn Shillings 42 million shillings that forced the murder.
