Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The High Court in Kampala has given government up to Friday to produce death certificates or photos of the four men, suspected to be behind the attempted assassination of Works minister, Edward Katumba Wamala, who were killed by police.<\/p>\n

The order by Judge Musa Ssekaana was prompted by a plea made by defence lawyer Geoffrey Turyamusiima who wanted proof that four of his clients were killed by security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Attorney General\u2019s representative has served me with their reply, saying four of the applicants are dead but without attaching death certificates as proof,\u201d Mr Turyamusiima said.<\/p>\n

The suspects include Hussein Wahab Lubwama, alias Christopher Kinene alias Master, Ramadan Mustafa Kwawa, alias Musa alias Amin, Juma Saidi, and Serwadda Idris, alias Swakibu alias Juma.<\/p>\n

During yesterday\u2019s court session, Mr Turyamusiima told court that their earlier application in which they were seeking to have their clients brought to court whether dead or alive had partly been over taken by events.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy lord, this application has partly been overtaken by events since applicants 1 (Kamada Walusimbi alias Mudinka), 2 (Muhammed Kagugube), and 3 (Siriman Kisambira alias Mukwasi), have since been produced before court,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The State also told court that one suspect, Taata Juma, was not in their custody so they are not liable for his whereabouts.<\/p>\n

The court had set yesterday to hear the said application but the State arraigned three suspects before Nakawa Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court on July 8.<\/p>\n

They were charged with one count of terrorism, two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder before being sent on remand at Kitalya prison until August 3.<\/p>\n

Over a fortnight ago, police at a media conference revealed that they shot Lubwama dead as he tried to run away during arrest while Kwawa was killed when he attempted to escape from security operatives as he was being escorted back to the crime scene for reconstruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
