NO HEADWAY IN KAWEESI MURDER INVESTIGATIONS ONE YEAR ON
A year and one day since senior police officer Andrew Felix Kaweesi was killed, police has failed to move forward with the investigations.
Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Kaweesi was gunned down on the morning of Friday, March 17, 2017 a few metres away from his residence in Kulambiro, a Kampala suburb. Also killed in the ambush were Kaweesi's driver, Godfrey Mambewa and body guard, Kenneth Erau.
The police force immediately launched investigations into the shooting and Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura took direct management of the case as he had done with several high profile murder investigations before.
A year later, however, there seems to be no headway in the investigations and General Kayihura has left the police force. His 12 years as the top police officer ended yesterday, Thursday, when he formally handed over office to the new Inspector General of Police Okoth Ochola.
Ochola has been Kayihura's deputy for six years until March 4 when President Yoweri Museveni rang changes in his security apparatus, removing Kayihura as IGP and elevating Ochola to take over from him. The president also appointed General Tumwine as security minister, replacing Lt. General Henry Tumukunde. To deputise Ochola is Brigadier Sabiiti Muzeei.
The Kaweesi murder investigations, however, have failed to proceed beyond the initial rounding up of suspects. Out of the more than 40 people initially arrested, 23 of whom were charged in court, only three have been linked to the shooting. Of the three, two are believed to have sourced for the four shooters who were involved in the assassination of Kaweesi.
Preliminary police investigations based on scene-of-crime analysis and testimonies from eyewitnesses indicate that there were four people directly involved in gunning down Kaweesi and his two handlers. Only one of the four suspects has since been arrested.
