BREAKING: DPP drops charges on Rwenzururu king Mumbere
The office of the DPP has Tuesday dropped all charges against the Musinga of the Rwenzururu, Charles Wesley Mumbere, and 217 others.
Mumbere has been facing charges of murder, treason and aggravated robbery. Sources say back door negotiations between the legal team of the Omusinga and government have been silently ongoing and a mutual agreement has been reached to drop all the charges.
The UPDF in November 2016 under the command of then Brig. Peter Elwelu raided the Kasese based Obusinga palace and killed over 130 women and children in what government claimed to be a security operation aimed at rescuing the Omusinga from his own insurrectionist guards.
