My thanks too to our learned comrade Patrick for bringing the disputed murder report to our attention. However, I would advise any Ugandan, as Mr. WBK has previously asserted, that Scotland Yard is no reliable authority to rely on if the matter in question involves African or any other common wealth related embattled judicial issues other than UK itself. Reason?
As I have read through the report over a number of times, I have noticed both minor and major incosistencies. Some of the minor incosistencies dwell on what Mr. Gombya has told the public in private capacity and what was allegedly recorded from him by the Scotland Yard(SY). For instance a)the report at its commencement states that Mr.Gombya was renting a 4-bedroomed house at 1.2million shilling(page 4 of PDF format), a fact which is later on,is twisted by stating that he was renting a 3-bedroomed house(page 14 of pdf format) at now 1.4 million shilling or an equivalent of £700, b) the Yard mentions nothing about the first encounter(as indicated by Mr. Gombya on Ngoma radio recently) with the ‘alleged robbers’ by Mr. Gombya and the late Andrew which took place outside the house whereby one of them pointed out Mr.Andrew to the rest asserting that it was him they wanted, but rather only recounts the time they(robbers) shouted at them to come out of the house(page 6 of pdf format), and c) the sum of money, which appears to be only 40 million shilling(this was however clarified at the end by the Yard that it didn’t hold water) but referred to as 50 million shilling.
However, on the other hand, the major incosistencies dwell on the evidence adduced in nature as most of the evidence the Yard submits in its final report are circumstancial rather than physical or scientific in nature. How? Yard states that one Emmanuel Sebunza, aged 17 years admitted that the murder plot was masterminded at one John Katabazi business premises, though he(Sebunza) decided to withdraw from participation. The report goes ahead and states that all but one participants were former UFA soldiers. From there we are told about the few who were arrested , tried and sentenced accordingly. Surprisingly, nothing is said about the assult rifles which were used in the course of commission of the gruesome murder.One would at least expect Mr. Sebunza to know the source of those weapons and where they were kept since he participated in the arragements..but wapi. Could it be that Mr. Sebunza was already a serious criminal on remand whom the K’la admin connived with to implicate other innocent chaps in exchange with a lenient sentence?
Further more, the report mentions about both the finger and palm prints which were taken from the alleged suspects and sent to Metropolitan Police Lab in London… From there nothing is mentioned about the results of DNA samples taken from the poor guys and that leaves an ordinary man like me mentally blocked amid confusion as a result of wondering whether the scientific evidence were taken to another planet for more verification and tests or they were simply returned to Uganda but being negative in nature as the poor guy were seemingly innocent the K’la admin. decided to destroy them.
Again from the immediate points above concerning the ‘alleged suspects’ or shall I plainly say the convicted killers, the report mentions nothing about what the former dog master has constantly been telling the public that that his soldiers(dogs) traced the killers to a certain army baracks where some stolen belongings to the assualted house were found. Did he lie about? This point I wanted to bring it to the attention of our formers soldiers like Lord Buhanga and fractured spear Otto whether UFA soldiers had been integrated into NRA. Even if they had been incorporated into NRA, how comes that murder was planned not the baracks where the dogs traced them but rather somewhere outside?
On the point of witnesses, how were Julian Nabwire and Annet Namatovu related to the victims?
Conclusively, the SY report can’t be treated a final report on the murder of late Andrew Kayiira, but rather as a document with preliminary investigations into the murder, a document which is very biased , concealing the whole truth as it tries through out to implicate one character being responsible for the murder, Mr. Gombya. Oh yes, another alternative was armed robbery gone wrong by his own(Kayiira’s) men and bla bla bla bla…………………
I am no trying to be partial cos even Mr. Gombya’s narrow escape by jumping over that spiked 8ft in height gate and the immediate halving of the money without being noticed leave more questions than answers. Our only hope is that the murder file be reopened as soon the incumbent regime is wrestled on the ground. Otherwise before that, no truth will ever come out because I am pretty sure that even our corporal Otto knows more than he is feeding us per now.
