Suspects Of Former Assistant Inspector General Of Police (AIGP) Gen Kawesi Murder Case Re-Arrested After Court Granted Them Bail.

The Kololo-based International Crimes Division of High Court was Wednesday a scene of tension and drama when armed security operatives re-arrested four of the eight people who are suspected of killing the former Deputy Inspector General of Police, Andrew Felix Kaweesi.

The four were picked up together with their lawyer, Mr James Mubiru, shortly after being discharged by the Registrar of the International Crimes Division of High Court, Ms Esther Nasambu, following their bail release by Justice Lydia Mugambe.

They are Yusuf Nyanzi, Jibril Kalyango, Joshua Kyambadde and Yusuf Mugerwa.

Uniformed and plain-clothed security officers closed the main gate of the court premises to block the suspects from leaving.

However, the operatives opened the gate when a vehicle attached to the Office of the Director of Prosecution, approached the gate.

As the car exited, the suspects who were driving in two vehicles; belonging to Mr Mubiru and another belonging to Mr Godfrey Turyamusiima, a lawyer, tried to exit the court premises.

At this point, a team of heavily-armed operatives jumped out of a White Toyota Super Custom vehicle Reg. No. UAF 257 E and dragged the suspects out of the two vehicles.
