I posted this story in the past. However, given the other post of how Baganda get murdered, read this one again. How many of these prominent Baganda are being murdered by Thugs? It is very crucial that you keep an eye on these stories and these dubious murders. Thugs do not pursue and kill unless paid very well. I will share something that I read somewhere... soon. Stay tuned. You make a very big mistake to think that these are random murders. You might be the next one. ------------------------------- A dark cloud symbolising grief, anguish, shock and uncertainty hovered over Christ the King Church in Kampala on Tuesday as hundreds of distressed mourners attended the requiem mass of the Late Charles Lwanga one of the city businessmen killed by thugs. The service attracted high level government officials including Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi, city business men as well as friends and relatives of the deceased. Rev Fr Nicholas Lawrence Kayongo, who led the service, called upon all Christians to always be prepared to meet the Lord by living a righteous life. With tears rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably, the deceased’s widow Ritah Lwanga described her late husband as a caring, loving, smart and humble man “who never hurt me but enjoyed making me smile every time.” She eulogised her late husband: “I met Charles in 2007 when I was still a student at Makerere. Due to his overwhelming love for me, in 2008, I introduced him to my parents. We lived a happy life and early last year (2013) he asked me to walk down the aisle with him which we fulfilled on December 14 2013.” Murder in the city Ritah also recounted the last days of the city businessman. “The day my husband was killed was like any other at our home in Kulambiro, Kisaasi, Kampala. He did a lot of house chores at home. I was impressed by his energy. He told me he was happy to do what he was doing,” added Ritah. In the evening, Lwanga visited his construction site near Kisaasi before returning home. Ritah said she told him of her plans to visit her sister as he would be away in a sauna. “On my return, I waited for Charles in vain. He took longer than usual to return home. I tried to ring him but the phone was permanently busy. I started fearing for the worst,” said Ritah as mourners listened attentively, with chins resting in their palms.

A night passed without tracing Charles. On Monday morning, I was joined by my relatives to hunt for him. Fortunately, we found the car in which he was travelling at Police. I thought my husband had been arrested for driving while drunk,” added Ritah who was evidently overcome by grief. “I asked the Police officers what had happened to my husband but I did not get a clear answer. My heart felt so heavy. I was extremely worried. After pleading for sometime, a police officer confirmed my fears, saying, ‘the driver of that car is dead’. I felt like the world was crumbling under my feet. It was the worst day of my life.” One of the deceased’s relative identified as Justus informed mourners they received information from Boda Boda riders at the scene where the late was shot that two men were pursuing Lwanga on a motorcycle and that as soon as they shot him they took off. VP Kiwanuka Sekandi (R) was one of the mourners at the church service VP Kiwanuka Sekandi (R) was one of the mourners at the church service Police later rushed Lwanga Mulago Referral Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Ssekandi promised to make a speech at Lwanga’s burial on Wednesday. The deceased, who was in his early 40s, was the proprietor of Elegant Fashion shop on Mabirizi building in Kampala. He is survived by a widow and five children. chimpreports/photos-how-lwanga-was-murdered/
